At last I have found a female glowworm shining brightly in the long grass around midninght on a still warm night.
Its June 20th, the day before the summer solstice and I cant believe how bright the glow is.
This gloowworm has spent the last 2 years a larva feeding on snails and living under rotting wood. She cant fly, cannot eat and will only live for a few weeks. She is trying to attract a male and mate. After hopefully laying up to 150 eggs she will shortly die.
