So here we go...
Not a huge fan of worms myself. I love to fish but since i don't have a boyfriend anymore to worm my hooks i use bread (by the way the bread thing is actually pretty good bait especially if you dip it in a little beer) OK back to worms... wow. these guys are amazing. Marine fireworms. definitely a fitting name. The colors and everything are stunning.. transparent, orange, yellow, red and they are so well designed.
National Geographic says "Among the many intriguing aspects of the marine fireworm is the staying power of the glow it creates, thought to be created by a specific light-producing protein, or "photoprotein." As part of the Scripps study of the worms, it was found by researchers Dimitri Deheyn and Michael Latz that the goo glows in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit).
The fluorescent photoprotein in the worm's goo may have commercial applications. "If we understand how it's possible to keep light so stable for such a long time, [the process could be used] in biomedical, bioengineering, or other fields," Deheyn said in a statement."
