  10. Aubrey says:

    Before I run away from this image of a bug, I want to know how an inchworm is also able to have feet.

    Even if it’s for the s-acre of argument, I’d like to know the ruler of thumb reg-yard-ing this.

    Inchworm,
    Inchworm,
    Measuring the marigolds,
    You and your arithmetic,
    You’ll certainly go far;
    Inchworm,
    Inchworm,
    Measuring the marigolds,
    Seems to me you’d stop and see
    How beautiful they are.

  17. Theresa says:

    AH, we’ve got the tent all set up, now for some serious reading!
    “IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single worm in
    possession of a good tent, must be in want of a book!”

  18. StormCat says:

  39. Mika says:

  40. chanpon says:

    Oh, look! He’s just trying to get a better view of the outdoors.

  41. RedKitten says:

    Inchworms are neat! Cute little things, always on the go. Thanks for the reminder of the song. I seem to recall hearing it sung on “The Muppet Show” once. Good memories. :)

  42. Daphne Moss says:

    Love this site for seeing beauty in so many critters…extendo tox. and eens…priceless!!

    Doan like wormy things, but one summer day saw a slug on a July sidewalk doing the sluggyy equivalent of a sprint for his slimey little life. Now, I hates slugs…eat my flowers… but I actually threw this little desperate mollusk self into a cool bush.

  43. rikku says:

    O.
    M.
    G.
    I would glomp but then teh poot leetle thing would a-splode. Eenchworm leeps!!!!!

  44. CheshireCat says:

    At first I was all like: “How do you KNOW it’s a he, Meg?? Those leeps look pretty feminine to me.”
    But then I saw the Adam’s apple.

  45. acelightning says:

    Stormcat, the song is supposed to be sung by two people. One sings the “Inchworm, inchworm…” part, and the other sings “Two and two are four, four and four are eight, eight and eight are sixteen, sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two…” (And this was written *before* binary math became necessary because of computers!)

    Keith, it’s only sad if you assume that the inchworm never does stop to see how beautiful the world is. I think it implies that he/she does.

    Momof2kitties, you’re welcome ;-)

    RedKitten, it *is* a good way to learn the powers of 2…

  46. Paunchie says:

    eeeeeench worm! Love this pic.

  47. A says:

  48. Annie says:

    Inch Worm… “sigh” I love em they are so cute… and the first place I learned the inch worm song was on captain Kangaroo.
