The famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves in New Zealand are home to millions of these creatures, transforming underground rivers into what feels like a real-life journey through a galaxy. Bioluminescence: The blue light comes from Arachnocampa luminosa, a unique glowworm species found only in New Zealand.

Heading to AoNZ in two days!! We'll be visiting the Bay of Islands (3 nights), beaches west of Auckland & Tiritiri Matangi (3 nights), and Taupō (day trips to Waitomo caves/kiwi house, Hobbiton, & Rotorua).

Hot tips? Lay'em on me. I've been to Waitomo & Rotorua before, but not the other stuff.

One more pic: we went to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves where photography was ALSO not allowed but they let you take picture in front of a green screen where a guy goes “okay point at the glowworms and look amazed!” and that’s your pic. And IMO it’s better.

Wai = water, tomo = sinkhole in Maori. There are glow worms in many places but Waitomo is the best viewing though expensive. Along the bush track near me in Titirangi, Auckland there are a few glow worms if you look carefully at night.

My brother and sister in law swore my 3 year old niece is lucky with the Waitomo petrol app spins, so I let her do mine.

Bless her socks.

The #sciArtSeptember prompt is teardrop, so I thought of certain droplets. On the North Island of New Zealand or Aotearoa, there are caves near Waitomo with large populations of Arachnocampa luminosa, a glowworm (insect larvae and adult larviform females that glow through bioluminescence) native to

Eai, vc sabia?

Caverna de Waitomo na Nova Zelândia: As cavernas de Waitomo são conhecidas pelos vagalumes que habitam suas paredes. Esses insetos emitem uma luz azulada que cria um ambiente místico, fazendo a caverna parecer um céu estrelado subterrâneo.

Waitomo Glowworm Caves on New Zealand’s North Island are famous for the blue-green light produced by thousands of glowworms, which are the larvae of the species Arachnocampa luminosa.

Very impressive 💙😎💙
