Firefly facts:
The Scientific Name of the Firefly is Lampyridae. There are about 2,000 firefly species. These insects live in a variety of warm environments, as well as in more temperate regions, and are a familiar sight on summer evenings. Their light is the most efficient light in the world because nearly 100 percent of the energy in the chemical reaction is emitted as light. Their average lifespan is about 2 months and the can grow up to 1 inch.
Males that glow use their flash to attract females. Each species has its own pattern of light flashing. In some places at some times, fireflies synchronise their flashing. Their light can be yellow, green or orange. Firefly larvae may glow, even some that live underground or under water. They use the light to communicate to predators that they aren’t tasty (they produce unpalatable, defensive steroids for protection).
Larvae are carnivorous and particularly enjoy snails. Adult fireflies usually live off of nectar and pollen, but some don’t feed at all.
