Hi folks,

Those interested in things entomological may be interested in a story  
that the Chronicle Herald has today about our recent discovery of the  
European lesser glow worm (actually a beetle in the firefly family) in  
Halifax - a Rudolf the red-nosed glow worm story. The URL of the story  
is:

http://thechronicleherald.ca/Metro/1157226.html

Those interested in further details can read the scientific paper  
announcing the discovery in ZooKeys:

http://pensoftonline.net/zookeys/index.php/journal/article/view/279/321

Cheers!

Chris
