Re: GLOW WORM sites UK

For the past 5 years many of my June and July evening have been spent walking along a canal in south cheshire counting the glowworms. surprised that I also find good numbers alongside the busy A49.

My view is that the glowworm is far more widespread than we might think. Problem is that these days we go about in cars with full beam headlamps, few people walk or cycle late and night and to see them easily you need dark conditions and to go slowly. Also to be there at the right time which in midsummer is after 1130 PM

A truly magical insect
