Glow-worm larva - Lampyris noctiluca

I was so pleased to see this little chap hiding under a log today! I hardly ever see glow worms nowadays but we do get a few sightings of adult females glowing here on summer nights. They are such a rare and beautiful sight glowing luminous green in the hedgerows. I hope this one makes it to adulthood to add to their diminishing numbers

Wow looks alien

One of my life ambitions to see a glow worm, glowing...you are lucky to have them no matter how few. The lava makes an interesting pic.

[Myrna O'Hara]

Well, can't say I've ever seem one of these either. Are those his little eyeballs on top right of the body.

[Babs]

So interesting, never seen one up close.
