Try inflating them with oil instead of air. The oil is lighter than water, so it still floats, but it will stay in the worm for much longer, instead of leaking out and sinking the worm. And the best part is that you can also add scents to the oil, he he he. As for where to stick the little guy, right behind the egg sac, about 1/16th" or so deep. Inflate SLOWLY. Canola oil works well. Good luck.

That is an exceptional idea Skyler, I'm all over it! That is a great idea.

Here is crude attempt at a quick picture of how I do em.. I use half a crawler and thread them. I have both the needle and the blower. Both work but I prefer the needle. As mentioned, dont go through both sides of the worm. Get the needle in to the center. Inflately slowly until the worm starts to leak air or just before once you get the technique down.

Scented oil is an interesting idea too. I have used some of the liquid attractants in worms with success so the right oil based concoction might be worth trying.
