It is, as the name says, an insect equipped with organs capable of generating bioluminescence. She lives in some caves of New Zealand and thanks precisely to bioluminescence, this insect is able to shine in the darkness in which he lives, the sticky droplets you see hanging from his body (a sort of sticky slime). The result is to attract other insects entering the caves to find shelter and who are attracted by the glittering droplets invisciati remaining there as in a spider's web. At that point our glow worm retrieves them and eats them with relish. All of these animals, and their glittering burrs, creates spectacular effects similar to a starry sky that unfortunately was not able to photograph properly because I was not equipped to stand up to the knee, and I was immersed in an underground stream that flowed the caverna. Si tratta, come dice il nome, di un insetto dotato di organi capaci di generare bioluminescenza. Vive in alcune caverne della Nuova Zelanda e grazie appunto alla bioluminescenza, questo insetto riesce a far risplendere, nel buio in cui vive, quelle goccioline appiccicose che vedi pendere dal suo corpo (una sorta di bava collosa). Il risultato è quello di attirare altri insetti che entrano nelle caverne per trovarvi riparo e che vengono attirati dalle goccioline luccicanti restandovi invisciati come nella tela di un ragno. A quel punto il nostro glow worm li recupera e se li mangia con gusto. L'insieme di questi animaletti, e le loro bave luccicanti, crea effetti spettacolari simili a un cielo stellato che purtroppo non sono riuscito a fotografare in modo adeguato in quanto non ero provvisto di cavalletto ed ero immerso fino al ginocchio in un torrente sotterraneo che scorreva nella caverna.
