Bear's Adventure in Glow Worms Cave

I went to some glow worm caves in New Zealand. A glow worm is the larvae stage of a fungus gnat who only lives five days.

It is called a glow worm because it has a big light near its tail which is for attracting insects that will get snagged in their "fishing" lines that they put down. Then the larvae eat the insects.
It was 8pm when we went into the cave. It was very dark. In the darkest part we took a boat ride. All the glow worms were on the ceiling and looked like stars in the night sky. 
SEE YOU ON MY NEXT ADVENTURE!
