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

Sep 22 at 6:30 pm at South Shore Pier. No grass area here to sit.
The worms show half hour to 40 minutes after sunset.

Maps for both events are shown below. 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.
