Sunguramy :nb_lily:<p>I'm really glad Orfelia fultoni are getting more popular in the caving community because they are neat critters and I can always use more study sites. But I really wish people would not spread false info. So. Here are fun facts:<br>1) They are not worms, they are a larval form of a fungus gnat.<br>2) Their webs are not really 'sticky', prey have been observed moving across just fine, however there *is* oxalic acid in play.<br>3) While you may think of the famous caves in New Zealand, these are in the US southeast region and even have a distinct chemistry to the bioluminescence.<br>4) They are super cool. And despite every news story saying they're impossible to photograph, or reporting even NatGeo couldn't video them.... I can. I even have a lovely hi res video of a prey capture. But...I'm a queer fem so what do I know. <br> <br>Boost so maybe they see that someone can do this?</p><p><a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/glow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glow</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biology</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>queer</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/queerscientist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>queerscientist</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/stem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stem</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/cave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cave</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/caves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>caves</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/caving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>caving</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/speleology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>speleology</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/karst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>karst</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/NatGeo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NatGeo</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/NationalGeographic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalGeographic</span></a></p>
