I used to go fishing when I was young. Sometimes I'd set out to catch eels, using big fat juicy lobworms as bait. I'd harvest these from the lawn late at night, quite a tricky job as they like to sit with their tails still in their burrows so that, on sensing danger, they are able to retreat with lightning speed and even if you get a good grip on the middle of the worm (using wool gloves) you've still got a struggle on your hands as the worm has little bristles with which it can grip the sides of its burrow, which often means that if you pull too hard, the worm snaps in half. Anyway, I once had a pot of lobworms that I left in the bottom of my fishing bag. They liquefied.
Your post reminded me of all this.
