Glow worms

Glow worms, National Bridge, National Park, Queensland, Australia

Glow worms, what are they? Something like fireflies but glow worms are the worm stage of the large flies. Fireflies emits yellow glow at their bottom while glow worms emit bright blue glow, whole body through. Lucky ones who had the chance to sight these magnificent, remember the joy of it. For those who hasn't have the opportunity to do so, imagine yourself in a dark room with a christmas tree filled with blue LED and of course take a hike into the cave of Queensland National Park. This park and the glow worms are under UNESCO care. With the right care, glow worms will remain to sparkle.

Fireflies population have been dwindling, do protect them for the future.
