It was very hot, humid and sunny as twenty-two volunteers collaborated for this week's survey. The glowworm shown below is actually a kind of beetle. The male's large antennae detect the distant pheromones and, at closer range, his huge eyes can see the bioluminescent glow of the larviform females.
