What is a green bomber?

This creature is one of at least five new "green bombers"--deep-sea, swimming worm species armed with "bombs" (indicated by arrow) that glow a brilliant green when dropped. The glowing bombs are thought to distract predators such as fish, allowing the worms to escape. "There are no other annelids that have structures like this," said Karen Osborn, a marine biologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California. The annelids make up a large category of marine and terrestrial segmented-worm species, including common earthworms. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/08/photogalleries/worms-glowing-bombs-green-pictures/ Nov 05 09, 11:27 PM
