It takes James a while to notice the Glow-worm, as she functions like a ceiling light. She is, according to the Centipede, a female firefly without wings. The Glow-Worm provides light inside the peach and since she’s shy like the Silkworm, she generally keeps to herself. After landing in New York City, the Glow-worm replaces the light bulb in the Statue of Liberty’s light, thereby saving the city a massive electricity bill every year.
