About

Deep within damp caves and shaded forests, these tiny creatures perform one of nature’s most magical light shows. Glowworms are not worms at all, but the larvae of a small gnat. To attract prey, they produce a shimmering blue-green light from their tails - rather like the fireflies of summer nights. Dangling silk threads, they create a starry night in miniature, for us, it feels like stepping into a fairytale. Yet for the glowworm, it is a clever and beautiful way to survive. See them up close in our purpose-built eco-cave, day or night.
