PA: I forwarded your question about glow worms to Leslie who responded thusly:

She needs an entomologist, not a polychaetologist. If she's willing to take pics or pick up a few of the worms I'd be happy to pass them by our entomology department. Anything for one of my husband's three readers!

Personally, I wouldn't pick them up. I'd put them in a baggie or a jar.

I suspect the notion of California vs. Texas may have simply eluded the maker of the second video - much as New South Wales and Queensland combine into one non-existant place for the average geo-phobic American.

Thanks Ben. That was so good I had to add it to the main post - with appropriate finder's credit of course.

The Capitan Theater? (It's one of the stills in the video.) It didn't look familiar to me. It isn't a picture of Disney's famous EL Capitan Theater in Hollywood - miles away. A little web search indicates that this Capitan is actually in Pasadena, Texas, a whole different place.

Damn you. Now I've got this song stuck in my head.
