Entomologist Morgane wants to know why bugs glow, and how? She begins by looking at New Zealand glow worms in the lab and in a cave and reveals how these creatures are able to light up. In the Northern Hemisphere, we examine the firefly and their larvae.  These insects’ glow through a process called bioluminescence which is a chemical reaction that happens within the bug itself. We’ll also find out about Click Beetles glowing eyes and a glowing scorpion!
