glowworm
noun
glow·worm ˈglō-ˌwərm 
: any of various luminous insect larvae or adults with wings rudimentary or lacking
especially : a larva or wingless female of a firefly (family Lampyridae) that emits light from the abdomen
Did you know?
This is any crawling, luminous insect that emits light either continuously, or in prolonged glows, rather than in the brief flashes that are characteristic of most fireflies. Glowworms include larvae and adult (often wingless) females of fireflies and certain other beetle species, as well as the larvae of certain gnat species. They are widely distributed. There is great diversity in the size, number, location, and structure of the bioluminescent organs of glowworms.
