They only come out at night. What a beautiful animal, but very shy of lights!

I love to watch those things. They feel funny when they grab onto your finger.
Looks like you had plenty of those worms flying by your light. :-)

Wow! Never knew they existed. Just did some research and they are really fascinating. Thanks for the great vid! :-)
