About the Glow Worms


What they are


  • Species: Arachnocampa (native to Australia and NZ)

  • Stage: The glowing form is the larva of a small gnat

  • Why they glow: A natural bioluminescence reaction that creates a blue-green light to attract prey


How they hunt


  • The larva builds a silky nest on damp rock and hangs sticky threads

  • Insects fly toward the glow and get caught

  • The larva reels in the thread and feeds


Life cycle


  • Eggs → Larva (glows) → Pupa (glows) → Adult gnat

  • The adult lives only a few days, long enough to mate and lay eggs


Best viewing conditions


  • Darkness: darker nights bring a brighter glow
  • Moisture: damp, cool evenings show stronger light

  • Quiet: less noise means less stress and more glow


Where you’ll see them at Curtis Falls


  • On damp rock faces beside the waterfall

  • Clusters look like a patch of glowing stars

  • Hanging silk threads may be visible with careful low light


Do’s & Don’ts


  • Do: Walk slowly | keep voices low | follow your guide’s instructions

  • Don’t: Use flash | shine bright light | touch rocks or threads | spray insect repellent near the colony


Photography tips (no flash)


  • Use night mode or long exposure on smartphones

  • Stabilise with a railing or small tripod

  • Lower screen brightness and take steady shots


Common questions


  • Will we see them year-round? Yes, though brightness varies with the weather

  • Are they in caves? Not here, you’ll view them on the waterfall rock faces

  • Safe for kids? Yes, with supervision | the walk is short and easy

  • Do they bite or sting? No | they are harmless but very delicate

  • Will my eyes adjust? Yes, your guide pauses to let night vision develop


Why this matters


Glow worms are sensitive. Bright lights and loud noise can disturb their feeding and reduce their glow. By staying on the path, keeping lights low, and following your guide, you help protect the colony and ensure this natural wonder lasts for future visitors.

About the Glow Worms


What they are


  • Species: Arachnocampa (native to Australia and NZ)

  • Stage: The glowing form is the larva of a small gnat

  • Why they glow: A natural bioluminescence reaction that creates a blue-green light to attract prey


How they hunt


  • The larva builds a silky nest on damp rock and hangs sticky threads

  • Insects fly toward the glow and get caught

  • The larva reels in the thread and feeds


Life cycle


  • Eggs → Larva (glows) → Pupa (glows) → Adult gnat

  • The adult lives only a few days, long enough to mate and lay eggs


Best viewing conditions


  • Darkness: darker nights bring a brighter glow
  • Moisture: damp, cool evenings show stronger light

  • Quiet: less noise means less stress and more glow


Where you’ll see them at Curtis Falls


  • On damp rock faces beside the waterfall

  • Clusters look like a patch of glowing stars

  • Hanging silk threads may be visible with careful low light


Do’s & Don’ts


  • Do: Walk slowly | keep voices low | follow your guide’s instructions

  • Don’t: Use flash | shine bright light | touch rocks or threads | spray insect repellent near the colony


Photography tips (no flash)


  • Use night mode or long exposure on smartphones

  • Stabilise with a railing or small tripod

  • Lower screen brightness and take steady shots


Common questions


  • Will we see them year-round? Yes, though brightness varies with the weather

  • Are they in caves? Not here, you’ll view them on the waterfall rock faces

  • Safe for kids? Yes, with supervision | the walk is short and easy

  • Do they bite or sting? No | they are harmless but very delicate

  • Will my eyes adjust? Yes, your guide pauses to let night vision develop


Why this matters


Glow worms are sensitive. Bright lights and loud noise can disturb their feeding and reduce their glow. By staying on the path, keeping lights low, and following your guide, you help protect the colony and ensure this natural wonder lasts for future visitors.
