摘要

The creatures that produce the beautiful light shows at Waitomo are actually glowing maggots: the larvae of a type of fly called a fungus gnat. Always found close to water - they are called titiwai by Maori, a name that refers to lights reflecting in water - glowworms use their blue-green light to attract prey: tiny flying insects that become entangled in sticky threads that the larvae hang beneath them. There is only one species of glowworm found throughout New Zealand, Arachnocampa luminosa, but their cousins can also be found in Australia; eight different Arachnocampa species have been found across the east coast and in Tasmania.
