Who knew?? We toured in a pitch-black cave down many stairs and there on the ceiling were little twinkle lights. They could have been artificially set there, says the Hollywood American in me. It felt very Disneyland without the smiling 12 year old taking my ticket at the door.
In fact, it was the real deal. The tour bloke talked for awhile about these worms spinning a web that hangs below like a chain. The worm then lights itself up which attracts the insects. The insect is caught in the web, the worm pulls the "chain" up and feasts then makes a new web and waits for its next meal. Ingenious. He then turned on an actual light that showed the many "chains" hanging from the low cave ceilings. Unreal!! This was no Indiana Jones ride afterall!
I have a whole new respect for Glow Worms. Thank you, Pat!
