Ok, so I haven't been able to fully figure these out but I thought I'd post here so others could add other information. I know I'm always getting them confused with the Hasbro Glo Worms.
I'm not even sure what the "real" name for them is. I haven't found a picture of a vintage box yet. I think the main way to tell a new one from a remake is the tush tag. The newer ones will have the newer date on the tush tag (ex: "2000") while the head will still be stamped "1984."
I had the yellow and orange bee when I was little.

I've also come across the miniature-sized turtle and bee(?) ones when thrift shopping. I think they were made in the 90s.
Okay, so here's what I've managed to find out so far. I think they actually ARE still being made (or were remade for awhile in the 2000s, at least). The company that makes them is Soma International Ltd. Were they always called Hug Me Squiggly Wigglies?
Here are two sales ad pdfs from their site:
Glo BugsGlo Kidshttp://www.somahk.com/catalog/ToyDetail.php?t=210I know for sure that the bee and turtle are just remakes of the vintage versions. I think that the butterfly is new (ugh)? I'm not sure about the ladybug.

Alivia's Toys also has some pics:

This was on eBay. A 1991 Hug N' Glo Turtle. It doesn't say who made it, but I believe it's the Shelcore one?
