Both the winged males and larviforme females take part in this impressive performance. The glow-worms’ remarkable ability is possible thanks to an unusual enzyme – the luciferase.  The chemical reaction triggered in their bodies is so efficient that it has inspired the scientists to work on an energy-saving lamp utilizing the luciferase and its unique luminescent properties.
