Author : Arni Amusa
We all love to travel. You must have traveled to numerous places but nothing can be compared to the beauty spot of New Zealand -
The Waitomo Glowworm Caves.
This awe-inspiring cave induces thousands of tourist every year .
Tourists can visit by boat and enjoy a fantastic light show as they cruise through.
This glowworm cave is located in the depths of the North Island Hills in New Zealand.
The walls of this limestone cave are lined with an array of luminescent glowworms.
This specific species of the glowworms that lives in the cave is absent anywhere else in the world.
This species of worms is named as Arachnocampa luminosa.
Glow worms are the larvae (immature stage) of a small fly (Arachnocampa luminosa).
The larvae stage is the only stage in their life cycle that can glow. The colors may include red, yellow, orange, or even green!
The adults are delicate flies. When the glow worm turns into an adult their lifespan becomes shorter.
Glowworms are miniature sized (about the size of a matchstick).
These insect prey on even smaller insects such as mayflies, midges and moths.
To capture their food the glowworms build a network of silk threads that hang vertically from their habitat that are covered in a sticky mucus.
Glowworm fact: Adult glowworm flies never get caught in these sticky webs because they aren’t attracted to the light, plus they are strong enough to pull away from the threads .That's all what you needed to know about the Waitomo Glowworm Caves and its endangered but unique glow worm!
Hope you guys enjoyed my blog!
