Glowworms are fascinating maggots. They live for 9 months and are then starved to death. The longest time they spend as "worms" (but really maggots) under ground near wet areas on the ceiling of caves. There they suspend their string like saliva with which they catch other insects. So what glows on a glowworm? It’s the poop that glows bluish by bioluminescence.

At the birthplace of one of the best musicals of all times.

"It’s astounding! Where we stand is the birthplace of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. On this site stood the Embassy Theatre, the home of Hamilton’s Late Night Double Feature Show, and the barber shop where Richard O’Brien cut hair and daydreamed from 1959 to 1964."

The statue was created by the Weta Workshop.

OutdoorKnit went to Te Papa and put warm bands around some pohutukawa trees at the waterfront.
