Family Keroplatidae
Spotted 15M in Marciano Cave, Sta. Teresita, Cagayan.
Probably similar to the Australian glowworm that make sticky hanging snares to catch food during its larval stage. "Predaceous species kill their prey with an acid fluid (mostly oxalic acid) secreted by labial glands and deposited on the droplets of their webs." http://pbs.bishopmuseum.org/pdf/BE13-ker...
