WHAT ARE GLOWWORMS? Glowworms are fascinating bioluminescent creatures found predominantly in New Zealand's dark, damp caves. Despite their name, they're not actually worms but rather the larvae of fungus gnats. These small larvae emit a blue-green light from their tails, attracting insects towards their sticky silk threads for food. This natural illumination creates a captivating sight, especially in the dark caverns of places like Waitomo, where thousands of glowworms create a starry spectacle, enchanting visitors with their magical glow.
