外見
The California Glowworm is an insect with a soft, elongated body, typically dark brown or black, with a paler segment behind its head. Adult females are wingless and resemble large grubs, while males have wings. Both sexes possess a distinct yellowish-green light organ at their tail end, glowing steadily.
