Silk bioluminescent in caves

Arachnocampa, glowing worms
Ecorazzi has made a nice gallery of images of ‘Avatar’ like landscapes on Earth. One of the images shows the Arachnocampa. The Arachnocampa, aka “glow worm”, lives in caves in Australia and New Zealand. They spin a nest of silk on the cave ceiling and then hang down as many as 70 threads with drops of mucus attached to snare prey.
The larva all glow (even more brightly if they haven’t eaten in a bit) to lure victims to the threads. Incredibly, nearly 100% of the energy input is turned into light. source:ecorazzi -

Onderbroeken lol!

cow-dung-luminaire
This lamp is made out of the lovely brown letter production of cows. Can you imagine? Every time you walk into field with cows, you think; ‘hmmm … look at what thick Berta has produced … a nice fluffy brown luminary! Stick in a nice GLS on the heated-up luminary starts nicely smell as well.
Nevertheless I really like this kind of eco-design with a sense of ‘onderbroeken lol’
