Everything about Railroad Worm totally explained

A railroad worm is a larva or larviform female adult of a beetle of the genus Phrixothrix in the family Phengodidae, characterized by their unique possession of two different colors of bioluminescence. The luminescent organs of their body can glow green, while those on their head can glow red; this is due to two different kinds of luciferin and luciferase in their bodies. This is believed to be an adaptation to help confuse and frighten predators.
   The term "railroad worm" is also sometimes applied to the Apple maggot.
