the glowworms of Pickett State Park
This sounds like something fascinatingly different to do this summer:
“It’s similar to looking down at starlight,” said Travis Bow, the naturalist who led the glowworm tour at Pickett State Park that night...
Like the synchronous fireflies of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the glowworms of Pickett State Park have achieved celebrity status, albeit on a more modest scale.
For decades, the park has led glow-worm tours to Hazard Cave, where the luminous larvae are believed to occur in greater abundance than anywhere else in the world outside of New Zealand.
