![]() Though we have other images in our archives of Glowworms glowing, this is the first Food Chain image we have of the remarkable feeding habits of this amazing creature. Thank you ever so much for taking the time to send these awesome photos. Now, I am happy to announce, that I successfully captured a bit more of her glow this afternoon! Attached are two photos: one of her eating and the other of her glowing. It is quite gruesome – but fascinating! Anyway, we noticed last night that she seemed to be glowing more – while her head was in the millipede! We pulled her out, but by the time we figured out camera settings, her glow faded. Within an hour the millipede was immobilized and over the past two days the glow worm has been tunneling inside the millipede eating everything but the shell. She loved it! It was nothing but a pile of shell/rings in the morning. My husband graciously found a small millipede for her for a bedtime snack. We then learned that she (yes, it’s a girl glow worm!) should like millipedes and we wondered if she would glow more if she regained her strength. Males look like typical beetles, but the nightly glow of a female is unmistakeable - lighting up to. Well, we immediately checked to see if it was glowing and it was – very faintly. The glow-worm is not actually a worm, but a beetle. It is a very clean transparent background image and its resolution is 540圆40, please mark the image source when quoting it. My sister recently sent in a photo of a larva that my daughter found in the bathroom: Thank you! It does glow! The glow is very faint, but it is there! Amazing!! You may have been even more impressed had you turned off the lights and watched this Glowworm do what it is best known for, glowing in the dark. Signature: impressed by biodiversity Glowworm The book is unequivocally the best ever written on North American lightning bugs. Faust is the first to offer a comprehensive look at species of the eastern and central United States. This approximately 2-inch-long larva was found crawling in the bathroom of a home in the southern part of North Carolina on September 23rd. A new book, Fireflies, Glow-worms, and Lightning Bugs, by Lynn Frierson Faust takes an in-depth look at the biology and allure of these familiar night visitors. ![]() ![]() Location: southern part of North Carolina ![]()
