Author's comments:
La cámara captó el movimiento de las luces, por lo que la forma se entiende poco. La forma es la de un gusano típico, y el patrón de bioluminicencia es de dos hileras de puntos verdes a los lados del cuerpo y una mancha grande roja en la cabeza. La coloración es idéntica a la que se ve en la foto.
