The fresh aroma after a summer downpour is one of life's pleasing scents. The earthy fragrance was named petrichor by Australian researchers in 1964. They described it as a combination of plant oils and the chemical compound geosmin which are released from the soil when it rains.
If it rains, they don't want to be underground. First, they probably feel the vibrations from the raindrops on the ground. So if they are below ground level, like in a burrow or under a rock, they will come out. Once they are out, they will be stimulated and annoyed by all the raindrops falling on them and all around. They might scamper around looking for a better shelter.
