Like, if early bird gets the worm, Isn't it better for the worm to be late? That way he won't be eaten up.
So slower worm gets to live???

The early worm gets digested. Yeah, it would pay for the worm to stay concealed. However, considering how there are several times more bugs than birds in this world, I'm not going to feel too sorry for the worm for now.

Or maybe if the early worm is really early, he gets up and back down again before the early bird comes along.

If early bird gets the worm, early worm gets there ahead of time.

Natural selection at work.
Stupid and clueless worm gets eaten = less competition for survivors who get to mate with all the good lookin' females.
Maybe not, if they have a moral code, come to think of it.

Precisely. Oddly enough, the sloth has perfected laziness as a survival skill. They move so seldom that few predators even notice them.
