Description
The Worm Moon is the last moon of winter prior to the Spring Equinox. The name of this moon has been used for hundreds of years. The story why this moon is came to be called the Worm Moon is from records of caucasian explorers of North America.
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.
