The fungus gnat is a group of small, dark, short lived insects of the genus Arachnocampa. Some species in this genus glows or illuminates in their larval stage or in other word, have luminescent larval stage. If we study the glowing larva of the fungus gnat, we will be surprised to see that they follow one of the finest and the most sophisticated management principles during larval stage.
Every one knows that the insects in general get attracted towards light. Being an insect by itself, the fungus gnat knows this. No only it just knows this information, it also knows how to exploit the above knowledge to its advantage or trapping its prey. The larva of fungus gnat preys upon other small insects.
The larva spins a sticky thread like web and hangs down in the caves. The larva patiently waits for the prey (insects) to come and fall in the sticky web. To attract the insect, they glow brilliantly. The interesting thing about the fungus gnat larva is that only the hungry larva glows the best and not the one that had its meal. Naturally the hungry larva when glows can attracts the prey.
