Google-a-Day puzzles: Waitomo Glowworm Caves

Via today's Google-a-Day puzzle: "What creature uses nitric oxide to produce the starry effect you see in a New Zealand cave?"

The answer: glowworms, specifically Arachnocampa luminosa.

They live inside the Waitomo Glowworm Caves at Waitomo on the North Island of New Zealand.

Breathtaking:

Glowworms illuminate the Waitomo cave walls; via.

    I love that photo! However, I wish you wouldn't post answers like this... it ends the search challenge for others because they can so easily find your page :(

    I agree..posting an answer totally ruins the point of the puzzles.
