Wasn't there a time when it was called a slocum of worms?

I was reading the net and saw "a clat of worms" and looked it up. I found only a tiny bit of evidence for many of the collective nouns used for worms. In my research I stumbled upon "a bryce of worms" so I collected them all up for the post. At the exact same time I was researching "Kelly and dewormers" because I thought I remembered a post she wrote that said do not worry about dewormers because they are for a different type of worm and the medicine is mostly gone by the time it makes its way out of the animal. Someone, somewhere, at one time posted that but I could not find it. Kelly said the opposite from what I could find on line.

I thought you were joking about a bryce of worms. I looked it up, but could not find anything.

Not surprising because the evidence for the words was limited. Using Boolean search tools, handy to know, or putting quotes around words to specify exactly what to search for as in "a clat of worms" or "a bryce of worms".

This link: http://www.animalsandenglish.com/worms.html should be good for interesting "Subject of Posting" titles for a bit.

There is also wild card searching. "a * of worms" shows phrases that replace the "*" aka capital letter 8 :-).

chuckiebtoo please avert your eyes. If even three of us here made up a word or word phrase it would within 24 hours be a searchable term. That is how internet spiders work. Note: This is why aliens and vermicomposting are forever linked.

"a squirm" is good enough for me.

Actually, this whole business sounds like a 'Crock of Castings' to me.
