A firefly or a glowworm?

Answer: Glowworm caves cruise departure is 10 minutes drive from us.
New Zealand and Australia do not have a firefly. But we do have Glowworms. In “New Zealand and Australia, glow-worms are the larvae (maggots) of a special kind of fly known as a fungus gnat.” States the New Zealand government website, Te Ara.
