Railroad worm
The railroad worm is a larva or larviform adult of beetles of the genus Phrixothrix in family Phengodidae, characterized by their unique possession of two different colors of bioluminescence. Their body can glow green, while their head can glow red; this is due to two different kinds of luciferin and luciferase in their bodies.
