وائٹومو گلو ورم غاریں، نیوزی لینڈ 

(Waitomo Glowworm Caves, New Zealand)

نیوزی لینڈ میں واقع یہ زیرِ زمین غاریں دنیا بھر میں اپنے نامیاتی نیلی اور سبزی مائل روشنی کے لیے مشہور ہیں جو کسی فینٹسی فلم کا منظر پیش کرتی ہیں۔

نیلی روشنی کا راز: ان غاروں کی چھتوں پر ہزاروں کی تعداد میں گلو ورمز یعنی چمکنے والے کیڑے پائے جاتے ہیں۔ یہ خاص کیڑے بائیو لومینیسینس کے ذریعے اپنے جسم سے قدرتی روشنی خارج کرتے ہیں۔

ستاروں بھرا آسمان: جب سیاح غاروں کے اندر سے گزرتی ندی پر کشتی میں سفر کرتے ہیں تو غار کی اندھیری چھت بالکل رات کے وقت کھلے آسمان پر چمکتے ہوئے ہزاروں ستاروں جیسی دکھائی دیتی ہے۔

شکار کا طریقہ: یہ کیڑے روشنی کے ذریعے چھوٹے حشرات کو اپنی طرف راغب کرتے ہیں اور لٹکتے ہوئے باریک ریشمی دھاگوں کی مدد سے ان کا شکار کرتے ہیں۔
