Do you know if the months červenec & červen are related to the words for red or worm?

edit: or maybe you're not Czech and these months have different word in your language :)

The Wikipedia article linked in another reply to parent confirms that. The months in which the worms were harvested were named after the worms.

Not only "similar stem", they are cognates, as red dye was made from worms. But we also have "rudý" for "dark red".

Same for Polish.
