What About The Worm

Waitomo has one of the most popular tourist attractions in New Zealand,. It is world famous for the Waitomo Glowworm Caves and more in particular the New Zealand glowworm; 'arachnocampa luminosa'.

The scientific name Arachnocampa luminosa is an apt descriptor for this cave critter, as loosely translated it means "glowing spider bug." This is a reference to two particular traits: the way that it glows in the dark using the process of bio-luminescence, and the method it uses to capture its prey by using a silk like web.

Despite the name, glowworms are not worms, but the luminescent larvae of a fungus gnat The larvae are brown in colour, but the skin is transparent, allowing the bluish-green light to shine through.

Throughout history glowworms have been thought to have magical powers and have been the inspriration for many creative art works, including many poems, paintings and stories.

Our office is just a few minutes from the caves, so our friendly worm is an ideal icon for our creative web design business.
