Firefly

Fireflies are commonly found in meadows, fields, forests, and near bodies of water, particularly in humid areas.

Larvae are predatory, feeding on snails, slugs, earthworms, and other insects. Adult diet varies by species; some feed on nectar or pollen, while others do not feed at all.

Adults are typically nocturnal and use bioluminescence for mating communication. Larvae are also bioluminescent. They undergo complete metamorphosis.

Fireflies are generally considered beneficial insects as their predatory larvae help control populations of some garden pests like slugs and snails. There are no significant risks to humans.
