Fireworms are mating!

If you are interested in watching small worms mating & glowing like green light sticks now is the season. VIP Mary has selected August and September for the more intense light show. These fireworms or glowworms, Odontosyllis phosphorea, swim up from the bottom to mate on the surface water for half an hour. When thousands of these worms glow, it makes for a wonderful show!

Here is a link to an event I led years ago. https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/fireworms-mission-bay

Aug 23 sunset will be 7:25pm.  
I will be at the pier at 7:45 in Mission Bay. 
The worms show half hour to 40 minutes after sunset.

Sep 21 sunset will be 6:45 pm.
I will be at the pier at 7pm.
The worms show half hour to 40 minutes after sunset.

Both events will be at DeAnza Cove Pier. In the past we met near Sea World at a public pier but they have too many mosquitoes.The DeAnza Cove Pier is a better site due to being very dark (better to see the worms) you may want a flashlight for walking to & from pier. If interested, I have a few show and tell items to explain bioluminescence and how many objects, chemicals, and products give off a different glow of phosphorescence & chemiluminescence.
