Firefly (also known as a Lightning Bug)

Moist environments such as marshes, woodlands, and urban gardens with high humidity.

Larvae are predatory, feeding on snails, slugs, and worms; adults may eat nectar or pollen, though some do not eat at all.

Crepuscular and nocturnal insects famous for bioluminescence used to attract mates; they undergo complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, adult).

Non-toxic to humans but contain defensive chemicals (lucibufagins) that are poisonous to pets if ingested; they benefit the ecosystem by controlling garden pests like snails.
