Probably the weather, when it gets too cold or too hot they come on in and join the group- pesty little things. I would call someone to come spray around the outside of your house, if there are a lot.

They might be midge larvae. They can be real pests, and the adults can be hard to get rid of.

because the moistness causes friction

have'nt you heard when it rains a lot the rain washes the food to the fish and they want bite.

because when it is wet, more of the particles stick.

There is lots of factors limiting where worms can live.  For example: food availability, water availability, oxygen availability, compaction, temperature (frozen soil or boiling hot soil), etc

The worms dig tunnels which help aerate the soil.  (helps get air into the soil.)  This allows the roots of plants to expand which helps to make the plant grow larger.\n\nI did a science project on worms when I was in the 5th grade....granted that was a long time ago, but I don't think worms have changed much since then.

Because in "ye olden times" stuff got chucked into open sewers, including dead animals. When it rained hard, it all got washed out.

I have seen butterflies in very light rain but they apparently find safe harbor in heavy rains as do most animals. They have a powdery substance on their wings which probably would not do well to get wet and possibly cause them to no longer be able to fly.\nThis is a really cool website on butterflies..you might like to check it out.\nhttp://www.christiananswers.net/kids/butterflies.html

Mudslides(flows can be helped and are caused from \nlack of plants,roots ,brush,trees ect on the sides of hills.With the escavation and creation of new\nhousing ect and for the clean hillside look.The\nimportance of the undergrowth of grass ,trees ect \nhave been depleted and not replaced.They have \nprograms for beaches and hillsides,even in foreign\ncountries that realise the importance of root and plant systems in hillside lands.The winding and \nweb patterned root systems of these plants,trees\nacts like a "net" and the plants themselves and erosion barrier.

Running.\nThe relationship is you colliding with the rain vs the rain hitting you while standing still.\n\nYou ever hear the expression, "Your so thin you have to run around in the shower just to get wet."\n\nUnless you are Fat Albert, most people will get more wet while running.\nBasically, you increase the opportunity for rain to hit you while running.\n\nWalking is just a mild case of the runs, ha ha!

Mosquitoes Need Water: All mosquitoes have four stages of development-egg, larva, pupa, and adult-and spend their larval and pupal stages in water. The females of some mosquito species deposit eggs on moist surfaces, such as mud or fallen leaves, that may be near water but dry. Later, rain or high tides reflood these surfaces and stimulate the eggs to hatch into larvae. The females of other species deposit their eggs directly on the surface of still water in such places as ditches, street catch basins, tire tracks, streams that are drying up, and fields or excavations that hold water for some time. This water is often stagnant and close to the home in discarded tires, ornamental pools, unused wading and swimming pools, tin cans, bird baths, plant saucers, and even gutters and flat roofs. The eggs deposited on such waters soon hatch into larvae. In the hot summer months, larvae grow rapidly, become pupae, and emerge one week later as flying adult mosquitoes. A few important spring species have only one generation per year. However, most species have many generations per year, and their rapid increase in numbers becomes a problem

It's a chemical reaction between the materials used in country roads and natural raindrops.  The drops gather together (congeal) and become frogs.  Where I grew up it was suburban city concrete sidewalks and worms.
