If glow squids did this it would go up the tier list real quick

[@creeperconner3156]

True that

[@zooemperor3954]

There are glow squid. They’re called firefly squid and they will use their light to find mates or attract prey. The problem is that they only live for a single year.

[@drsharkboy6568]

@@zooemperor3954 we’re talking Minecraft. But yes, if only they would add dynamic light.

[@alexwhite6554]

So you watch the Alien Biosphere series?

[@maksymi.1980]

Didn't glow squids have a sort of hypnotic ability in their trailer? Maybe they will be able to mesmerize mobs (and players) to lure them into their grasp.

[@erushi5503]

Here in the Philippines we have many of them near bakawan forests but as time passes by, they started disappearing year by year

I got to see them in Waitomo, New Zealand, but for their safety's sake, we weren't allowed to take pictures. It woould've been nice, but I get it.

Why ?

[@reinhardtwilhelm835]

You said Pictures, didn't say about videos.

[@renoloverxoxo]

@@krimativity8526 a lot of places aren't allowing photos if the animals are at risk for poachers. The metadata of the photo can contain location info.

@LagiNaLangAko23 it depends on where. You might not know where exactly in the park they're located and need a guide to get there.

"Glow Worms Are Lit." Note: don't snuggle with them. That would be a BAD idea. They are not the Glo Worm, the stuffed toy for young children.

My mother-in-law and I went to the Glowworm Caves at Lake Te Anau in New Zealand. It was such an insane experience, floating in a tiny boat and gripping our hands like a vice. It was our first real bonding experience.

[@possessedaerosol8343]

Then you killed her, right?

[@Ineverlost_control]

What?

[@Sea_Leech]

"6:06-6:09 Synchronsize their glow, yet we're still not sure why" Maybe to dazzle prey even more. If you entered a cave with these amazing lights, would you feel more badazzled by a synchronzized glow or randomd brightness all over the place. Meaning these worms might work together

[@Sergedfabre]

funny you said If you’re a fly, their glow is the last thing you’ll see. cause when I'm fly I'm also lit

[@RainebowEvee]

Best description ever OMG their strings of mucus look like snot hanging down from the caves

[@WetDoggo]

The glow pattern synchronisation could be due to: Glow worms glow brighter when they feel vibrations of prey, signalizing others that there's prey to catch.

[@jesipohl6717]

that glowworm drawing was fabtastical!

[@weaselfangthememer8302]

PLEASE do some videos on new zealand animals :D I was happy to see the glow worm, as we have them, but it would be amazing to see animals such as the weta, yellow eyed penguin, new zealand bat, etc. :D

Legend has it that in the past these glow worms used to hunt human as well. Some of them escaped though and to this day they carry the snares on their necks. A quick search in the Google images with the words "Elderly Lady" will provide enough evidence to this legend.
