There's a children's song that includes the words glow little glow worm, glow and glimmer
The song has always conjured up images of a cute little worm glowing in the dim evening light.
That image was shattered forever by an episode of the television series Planet Earth. It turns out glow worms are disgusting little critters that spit out sticky strings of mucus with which to ensnare unsuspecting insects.
When I hear the song in the future I'm going to picture a slimy worm sucking a fluttering insect into its mouth and chomping the life out of the captured bug.
Glow little glow worm, chew your dinner
