Ruakiri Caves And Glow Worms

Another visit in the Waitomo Caves area was Ruatiri, a limestone canyon, full of caves and cave features plus the usual, interesting bush. Later that night--the cyclone was running late--we drove back to see the glow worms on the canyon and cave walls. Glow worms really don't photograph that well, but I did get one or two decent shots. We had seen plenty more during our 2008 visit to the North Island.


















































































































































Glow worms, I surmise, are an acquired taste...

SO cool! I would love to see these in person. p.s. I hope that last comment doesn't mean you ate one... does it?!?

No; you'd have eat 1-10 million to have a meal, and then you would glow in the dark...
