I change my mind a lot. They say it is synonymous with intelligence. But if it is, they will have changed their mind and now they will believe that it is not ... no matter, the issue is that I have a new favorite animal in the world.
Before it was the koala, then the dogs, then the giraffes, the penguins and the polar bear. And the panda! Then I wanted a koala again, then a lion and a monkey. Then a monkey attacked my boyfriend and I understood that they are not always cute.
But now I have it clearer than ever: my favorite animal is a mosquito-worm!
I present it: it's called luminous arachnocampa, but you can call him mosquiano (half mosquito-half worm) bright ... yes! Shine! It doesn't matter if it's a worm because it shines! I am so happy to have found it!

He lives alone in New Zealand and apart from shining he has brilliant ideas: this mosquito that spends most of his life in the form of a larva lives in the total darkness. So my bright little animal devised a survival technique: knit some silk threads and drops them to the ground as if it were a fishing rod. Obviously no trout or salmon approach, but small insects that are attracted by the blue light in its tail. And as soon as they fall in their claws my bright worm puts on the boots.
Best of all, they live in large groups, so if you are lucky enough to be in the same cave (and you are not an insect) you can attend a unique show!
