evidence: A video went viral in March 2023 claiming to show worms raining from the skies in Liaoning, China. The video shows some parked cars covered in small cylindrical worm-like objects. Several media outlets, including the New York Post, shared the video. Social media posts shared the video claiming the Chinese government had issued an advisory to the public to carry umbrellas while outside in the event of worms falling from the sky. However, these claims are incorrect. [...] Social media users clarified that this was inflorescences from poplar trees. Inflorescence is a flower head of a plant or tree, and the one seen in the video is classified as a catkin, which resembles a worm when looked at from a distance. Such trees bearing inflorescence categorized as catkins are found in several places in China, including Liaoning. Shen Shiwei, a political commentator and journalist from Beijing, has replied to a similar video claiming to show worms raining in Beijing, shared by The Rio Times. Shiwei noted that this was fake, as he lived in Beijing and that there had been no rain for the past few days. The viral video shows that it was drizzling, and people are walking with umbrellas. [...] A video of vehicles covered in worm-like objects in Liaoning, China, is, in fact, that of inflorescence that had fallen from trees. The objects on the cars are not worms, and there were no worms raining in the area. Therefore, we have marked this claim as false.
