The glowworms in New Zealand's Waitomo caves bring sparkles to life. | Condé Nast Traveler

Have you ever seen a glow worm? Despite the name, glow worms are actually beetles! The females are famous for emitting a greenish light from their bottoms, caused by a chemical reaction to attract males. Males look more like typical beetles, are smaller and have wings! These insects prefer open grassland or heaths, but can be found in gardens, railway embankments, cliffs and open woodlands.
