comments,
- Those glowing orbs are beetles.""You probably know them by another name
- The temperate climate and marshy landscape here...""Create an ideal ecosystem for bioluminescent insects
- The larvae of these insects emit light, too. They\re often called “glow worms.”""Which gives us an excuse to play this
- Capturing the brief flashes of light you might see in the woods at night...""Requires a little bit of luck and a good camera
