I've seen glowing worms too. In New Zealand. Very cool.

Uh, don't you guys got, like, some of the biggest black bears in America?

I think just the eyes or antennae of those worms glow.

Generally the abdomen. Eyes never glow* (they do reflect, though), it would prevent them from being able to see.


There are many species called glowworms, but the most common glowing thing on the ground in the US is probably a female firefly. They hang out on the ground, blinking, while the males are blinking in the air.


* technically, warm-blooded eyes glow infrared, but are also blind to it.

There must be high ratio of male fireflies compared to the females. If I saw any glowing flys on the ground I probably thought I was tripping.

What I'm talking about aren't fireflies.

It is a glow, though, not a reflection.

Could be these. Larvae and females glow.

London is a place I avoid if at all possible. It's crowded, noisy, threatening and generally disagreeable.
However, when considering what to be on my guard for, I have never included itinerant boa-constrictors in my assessment.

Quote:
Feather boa

The sight of a snake eating a dead pigeon on a busy London street caused a few double-takes from passers-by.
The boa constrictor, which triggered screams when onlookers realised what it was, was rescued by the RSPCA, which said:
“It might be an escaped pet, or more worryingly, someone may have deliberately dumped it and left it to fend for himself.”
Dave Fawbert spotted the snake, which he believed at the time to be a python, while walking home along Leytonstone High Road on Saturday.

Eating a dead pigeon that it found dead or it made dead?

Other reports suggest that the pigeon had already brought down the curtain and joined the choir invisible before it was offered to the snake by a passer by.

Beautiful plumage, though.
