Tomopterids, the ethereal glow worms of the deep 💡🐛

Tomopterids are marine planktonic polychaetes—commonly known as Gossamer Worms — that swim in the water column, never touching the seafloor. Growing anywhere between 1 cm and 30 cm long. They are also one of the very few marine creatures that can produce yellow light, spewing their bioluminescence to scare off predators
