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 September and October 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

Choose any of these dates to see the worms.

September 13 meet at 6:45 pm at De Anza Cove. Grass area if you want to sit. 
The worms show half hour to 40 minutes after sunset.

September 28 meet at 6:15pm at De Anza Cove. Grass area if you want to sit. 
The worms show half hour to 40 minutes after sunset.

October 11 meet at 6:00 pm at De Anza Cove. Grass area if you want to sit. 
The worms show half hour to 40 minutes after sunset.

A Map for the 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.
