In the dark forest, a tiny glowworm flickered like a natural disco ball. Van Helsing scratched his head, “Who needs flashlights when you’ve got these glowing critters?” Little did he know, the glowworm’s light isn’t just for show — it’s a sophisticated way to attract a date or warn enemies: “Hey, don’t eat me, I’m glowing!”
