worms were a popular baroque vanitas motif, a memento mori (remember that you are mortal). like mice, snakes, and beetles, they live in and on the soil and symbolize death – after all, they are the ones to decompose our remains.
worms represent the vulnerability and brevity of life. they commonly come out and show off when you least expect it.
listen, remember, and seize the day.
