amazing spot John, your patience paid off :)
@ dotun55 the worms are on horizontal threads to the vertical drops. They are transparent so very difficult to see! No they are not the larvae of fireflies. There is a link attached to this spotting for more information on these fascinating creatures
I took these pics with my little Canon ixus camera :) I was very lucky it was a still day as the slightest breath of wind makes them move. I've tried to take more photos recently but never had the success I had with these shots!
thank you Jared C! I have many more to add!
@ Argy....there's not many rungs left on it so I have gone base over apex a few times ;)
I will keep my eye on them as they are in my garden :)....I haven't seen anything like this before so interested to see their progression.
hey Argy Bee :) yes I need to get back for another look as apparently the blue base pad remains on the wood and looks like a small blue green cup fungus...
thanks Patty, I have that link with my other glow worm spotting earlier this year. I have attached a NZ link to this spottingwhich has further information you may enjoy :)
