Box Turtle With Dried Earthworm

I spotted this Box Turtle with a dried Earthworm crossing an asphalt road here in Arkansas. I see Earthworms on the roads early in the mornings and when the sun rises some Earthworms don’t survive. This Turtle must have picked this one up as it was crossing the road.
