Bioluminescent female glowworms were spotted at Nosterfield nature reserve in North Yorkshire this summer, confirming the successful reintroduction of the endangered beetle for the first time in 100 years.

Lovely day at Nosterfield today. Watched a Red Kite chilling out in front of North Hide for about 20 mins before if flew off when crows annoyed it. @teesbirds.bsky.social

La bonne nouvelle du jour : Des vers luisants brillent à nouveau dans le Yorkshire du Nord :)

Des bénévoles ont mis en place un élevage de larves dans un abri de jardin et ça a marché 🌿

Restoring species and rewilding can and must happen at many different scales…

Great to see volunteer-led efforts to return #glowworms to a UK nature reserve…

Glowworms have returned to a North Yorkshire nature reserve after more than 100 years, following a conservation project that began with larvae being raised in a Bristol garden shed. The first glowing females have now been recorded at Nosterfield nature reserve, providing an early sign that the reintroduction of the endangered beetles is progressing. Volunteers from the Lower Ure Conservation Trust counted up to 12 glowing females over several weeks this summer, two years after hundreds of captive-reared larvae were released at the site.

Ecologist Pete Cooper obtained an authorised sample from a local donor site, bred hundreds of snail-eating larvae in a Bristol garden shed, and released the first cohort at Nosterfield in 2024.

Glowworms take about two years to mature. Delivery could not be assessed immediately.

Glowworms are beetles, not worms. Flightless females emit light to attract the flying males.
