'Glow-worm Grotto' at Waitomo Caves
New Zealand, Glow-worm Grotto' at Waitomo CavesA small tourist boat glides across the still waters of the 'Glow-worm Grotto' at Waitomo Caves, which is illuminated by thousands of insects (the fungus gnat Arachnocampa luminosa). Caption reads WAITOMO CAVE, AUCKLAND PROVINCE. THE ENTRANCE TO THE GLOW-WORM GROTTO. A HUGE AND APPARENTLY ENDLESS CANOPY OF STARRY LIGHT SPREADS OVERHEAD AS THE SMALL BOAT FLOATS OVER GLASSY WATERS. MILLIONS OF TINY GLOW-WORMS, WHOSE LIGHT ATTRACTS EVEN TINIER INSECTS TO THEIR DEATH WITH A STICKY WEB, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL UNDERGROUND DISPLAY OF LIGHT, 1966. 2005/010/1/16/8.
