3 of 3 NZ glowworm bioluminescence
60 metres below ground surface in Ruakuri Cave, part of the Waitomo Caves system on the north island of New Zealand.
Seen here are New Zealand glow worm larvae exhibiting bioluminescence. It was just amazing to see the visual effect of this phenomenon, deep within the caves.
Flash photography was not allowed and capturing any image of these intriguing life forms in almost complete darkness was a challenge with a hand held camera - I hope these images are of sufficient quality for others to enjoy.
