About the Glow Worms
What they are
Species: Arachnocampa (native to Australia and NZ)
Stage: The glowing form is the larva of a small gnat
Why they glow: A natural bioluminescence reaction that creates a blue-green light to attract prey
How they hunt
The larva builds a silky nest on damp rock and hangs sticky threads
Insects fly toward the glow and get caught
The larva reels in the thread and feeds
Life cycle
Eggs → Larva (glows) → Pupa (glows) → Adult gnat
The adult lives only a few days, long enough to mate and lay eggs
Best viewing conditions
- Darkness: darker nights bring a brighter glow
Moisture: damp, cool evenings show stronger light
Quiet: less noise means less stress and more glow
Where you’ll see them at Curtis Falls
On damp rock faces beside the waterfall
Clusters look like a patch of glowing stars
Hanging silk threads may be visible with careful low light
Do’s & Don’ts
Do: Walk slowly | keep voices low | follow your guide’s instructions
Don’t: Use flash | shine bright light | touch rocks or threads | spray insect repellent near the colony
Photography tips (no flash)
Use night mode or long exposure on smartphones
Stabilise with a railing or small tripod
Lower screen brightness and take steady shots
Common questions
Will we see them year-round? Yes, though brightness varies with the weather
Are they in caves? Not here, you’ll view them on the waterfall rock faces
Safe for kids? Yes, with supervision | the walk is short and easy
Do they bite or sting? No | they are harmless but very delicate
Will my eyes adjust? Yes, your guide pauses to let night vision develop
Why this matters
Glow worms are sensitive. Bright lights and loud noise can disturb their feeding and reduce their glow. By staying on the path, keeping lights low, and following your guide, you help protect the colony and ensure this natural wonder lasts for future visitors.

About the Glow Worms
What they are
Species: Arachnocampa (native to Australia and NZ)
Stage: The glowing form is the larva of a small gnat
Why they glow: A natural bioluminescence reaction that creates a blue-green light to attract prey
How they hunt
The larva builds a silky nest on damp rock and hangs sticky threads
Insects fly toward the glow and get caught
The larva reels in the thread and feeds
Life cycle
Eggs → Larva (glows) → Pupa (glows) → Adult gnat
The adult lives only a few days, long enough to mate and lay eggs
Best viewing conditions
- Darkness: darker nights bring a brighter glow
Moisture: damp, cool evenings show stronger light
Quiet: less noise means less stress and more glow
Where you’ll see them at Curtis Falls
On damp rock faces beside the waterfall
Clusters look like a patch of glowing stars
Hanging silk threads may be visible with careful low light
Do’s & Don’ts
Do: Walk slowly | keep voices low | follow your guide’s instructions
Don’t: Use flash | shine bright light | touch rocks or threads | spray insect repellent near the colony
Photography tips (no flash)
Use night mode or long exposure on smartphones
Stabilise with a railing or small tripod
Lower screen brightness and take steady shots
Common questions
Will we see them year-round? Yes, though brightness varies with the weather
Are they in caves? Not here, you’ll view them on the waterfall rock faces
Safe for kids? Yes, with supervision | the walk is short and easy
Do they bite or sting? No | they are harmless but very delicate
Will my eyes adjust? Yes, your guide pauses to let night vision develop
