How do glowworms light themselves up?

How does the cave glow worm move?
Glowworms, specifically the larvae of the species Arachnocampa, move by using silk threads to create a network of sticky lines that hang in their environment, often in caves. These threads capture small insects attracted by the glow of the glowworms' bioluminescence. The larvae can also crawl along surfaces to adjust their silk threads or relocate if needed. Their movement is generally slow and deliberate, focusing on maximizing their chances of catching prey.
