Luminescent Glowworms Illuminate Caves in New Zealand
Interestingly, these glowworms are exclusively found in New Zealand and choose to reside in caves as they approach their larval stage, which can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months long. In the natural, rocky vault they are able to spin silk nests and hang long strings holding beads of mucus from the ceiling without added complications of their strands getting tangled due to wind. After all, this is their means of survival, serving as a trap for prey.
