Glow worms: they're beetles as bright as LEDs, and more widespread than you might think!

BIAZA Glow Worm Patrol is a campaign to get zoos and aquariums searching for populations of these enigmatic insects.

We're working with the UK Glow Worm Survey, which has been running since 1990, and gathers data about a fascinating insect that most people don’t even realise exists in Britain.

This page is developing and the BIAZA Native Invertebrate Focus Group is working on resources to help organisations run surveys next summer.
