Since the recent storms in Texas, worms in the area have been behaving strangely.

In Einsenhower State Park, for instance, rangers have spotted clumps of what they thought was discarded spaghetti sitting in the middle of the road.

On closer inspection, the strings of pasta turned out to be mounds of worms, sitting in a perfect line at the centre of the road stripe.

THEORIES FOR ODD BEHAVIOUR Park rangers provided two main theories for the worms' bizarre behaviour. The first is that the heavy rain forced them onto dryer land. They believe the rain saturated the ground causing the worms to find a less flooded area. Another theory is that the raindrops sounded like predators, leading the worms to want to escape together.

In total, the rangers discovered 30 clumps of earthworms following heavy rain and flooding in the southern US park which borders Lake Texoma.

'Even our biologist doesn't know why they're spaced so well and in the line,' Park Superintendent Ben Herman told ABC News.

Worms have been known to arrange themselves in clumps such as this, and are often called 'earthworm herds.'

The creatures often do this when they are in distress or faced with danger.

Scientists believe the clumps allow them to use touch to communicate and influence each other's behaviour.

They also produce a yellow fluid to deter predatory flatworms.

Gathering into groups may increase the amount of fluids covering the earthworms and provide better protect individuals.

But it was the exact arrangement of the clumps on the road that left officials baffled.

The worms stayed in the artful formation for two days.

'It was pretty entertaining to watch the worms do their thing,' said Herman.
