As a prelude to my showing off a bioluminescent build in Second Life that I've been working on, how about we tour some bioluminescent caves?
These strike me both beautiful and creepy at the same time. The light is emitted by a living organism and the idea of all those living things over my head in a cave is more than a little disconcerting. They could FALL! On me! Yikes....
It also might be that I've seen too many nature-out-of-control horror movies ;) It's all fun and games until Glowworms are exposed to random nuclear radiation and grow to enormous size with a taste for humans ... Actually, I don't think anyone's made THAT movie, yet.
