night crawlers
Large soil worms
Night crawlers are large earthworms that emerge from the soil at night, commonly used as fishing bait.
The term applies especially to the species *Lumbricus terrestris*, which can grow to several inches long.
Anglers prize them for their size and durability on the hook: We stopped at the bait shop for night crawlers.
Also spelled as one word: nightcrawlers.
