Glowworms naturally produce light (bioluminescence) This light results from a chemical reaction between Luciferin (a waste product) and Luciferace ( an enzyme) These act together to produce a glow.
So are they Luminous or not? and could you please reference your sources. Thank you :)
What else can I help you with?
Is the moon a luminescent object?
no the moon isn't luminescent because the sun light shines off the moon and that's why we see it ( why it glows ) and that's why when we have eclipses it alters how the moon looks because depending on how much or how little sun light can get through changes the color.
How did the AZtecs use fireflies?

What are small red stars called?
Small red stars are called red dwarves. They are the least luminescent and coldest stars.
Can you name four sources of light?
Sun Light bulbs Stars Fireflies
How do fireflies produce their own light?
Switch and flick, my son, switch and flick.

Where do glowworms live?
Glowworms are the larval form of fireflies, an insect that is not a fly but is actually a beetle. They live in or on the ground in all the places where fireflies are found, particularly the eastern and southern United States.
Does glow worms have metamorphosis complete or incomplete?
Glowworms undergo incomplete metamorphosis. They start as eggs, hatch into larvae, and then develop into adult glowworms without a distinct pupal stage. The larvae are the bioluminescent stage, while the adults are typically non-luminescent and focus on reproduction.
What does fireflies Mean?
Fireflies, also called lightning bugs, are members of a family of about 1100 species of luminescent beetles.
Can some animals give off light?
Yes , some creatures are bio-luminescent such as fireflies and deep sea animals .
What a luminescent object is?
A luminescent object is one that emits light without generating significant heat. This light emission can be due to various processes such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, or bioluminescence. Luminescent objects can be found in nature, like fireflies, or can be artificially created, like glow-in-the-dark stickers.
Do lightning bugs come from worms?
No, lightning bugs, or fireflies, do not come from worms. They are actually beetles belonging to the family Lampyridae. The larvae of fireflies, often called "glowworms," are similar to worms in appearance but are distinct insects that eventually mature into adult fireflies. Both the larvae and adults are known for their bioluminescence.
What is dose effect?
yes it dose effect the glowworms because you breath in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide wich makes it hard for the glowworms to breath... =]
What makes Waitomo glowworm caves special from all the other caves in New Zealand?
glowworms
What word describes an object that makes its own light?
The word is "luminescent."
What type of chemicals do fireflies use to glow?
fireflies produce some chemical reactions inside their body and that will allow them to light up and this process is known as bio luminescence. When oxygen combines with calcium,adenosine triphosphate and chemical luciferin in the presence of luciferase, a bio luminescent enzyme is produced.
What type of animal is a glow worm?
Glowworms are the larvae, or sometimes wingless adult females (of certain species), of beetles known as fireflies or lightening bugs. There are more than 1000 species, but all are from the family Lampyradae.
