    The Surprising Truth Behind the Worm Moon Name

    March’s full Moon goes by the name Worm Moon. For many years, we thought this name referred to the earthworms that appear as the soil warms in spring. This invites robins and other birds to feed—a true sign of spring!

    However, more research revealed another explanation. In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver visited the Naudowessie (Dakota) and other Native American tribes and wrote that the name Worm Moon refers to a different sort of “worm”—beetle larvae—which begin to emerge from the thawing bark of trees and other winter hideouts at this time.

    This fucking full-moon-naming thing. We all seem to be obsessed with the moon. The wolf moon, harvest moon, blood moon, worm moon, blue moon, snow moon, pink moon, beaver moon, etc...

    ENOUGH already! Get your kicks from the moon with Cyrano...



    And finish it with some music on the moon...



    And be done with it! ENOUGH!
