Why do worms congregate on the top of a compost bin lid (in their hundreds), rather than living in the actual compost itself?

I have had this problem with inadequate ventilation from time to time, especially if I just added more table scraps or food for them.
To remedy I let more air in by propping the lid up slightly.

I think there is a buildup of some gas they don't like from the decay (co2 or methane or something else) so they are coming out for oxygen
