I don’t know if something like an earthworm really fits into the category of “bugs.” It’s not even technically a “creepy” or a “crawly” – more a slimy slithery. But anyway, I thought I’d give it its four minutes of fame in any case.
I appreciate the pictures themselves are nothing special compositionally, BUT ….
Check out that fluorescence? … luminescence? … incandescence? Oh, bugger it, check out that GLOW!
I have never noticed this before. Do they all have this going on? Or did I just stumble across one that was radioactive??

that is way cool. Have seen a lot of worms but none with a glow to them before? hmmmmmmm, wonder what is in that soil?
It certainly does have the Hmmmmm factor, doesn’t it …
No, when they are getting enough decayed matter to eat & the right amount of moisture, as they go about their good work of creating healthy soil: they glow:)
Is that true? Well, I’ve learned something new today!
Well, I COULD be responding from my great love of the earthworm, & COULD be perhaps exaggerating their beauty. I guess I’m meaning “glow” in its sense of emotional resonance, haha
Ohhh – that went almost as deep as the earthworm itself then 🙂
haha! Well, just LIKE the earthworm, I too can be completely full of …… compost. BTW, those are lovely photos.
It’s irridescent! Pretty!
That’s the word I was looking for!
Not exactly pretty, but awesome!
Not pretty, but I am a sucker for them.
I’m one of those strange people who has to pick them up off the pavement if I see them stranded after a rain shower 🙂

Thanks for the tip – I visited her blog.
Gosh … I’d give anything to live somewhere like that.
I don’t think I’d ever put my camera down 🙂
