A lonely firefly goes out into the night searching for other fireflies.

# data[].attributes.body
The best way to catch fireflies is with your net, but you can also catch them with your hands or in a jar.  Warm summer evenings are the best time to catch fireflies.  A small bug box has been included in your kit for watching your fireflies.  If you want to catch many fireflies or keep them for a long time, you may want a larger jar.  To make your jar into a comfy place for fireflies, you can put in a moist paper towel at the bottom, and add grass and twigs.

# data[].attributes.body
You can try catching fireflies as soon as the sun sets and put them in a jar! Then go out later in the evening and catch more to put in the jar. You may notice the first ones you caught glow more green, while the fireflies you catch later in the night will glow yellow! This is because they are different species.

Teaching children about science with fireflies

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
During the summer months, many kids love watching and catching fireflies. But this activity is more than just fun – it involves science!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fireflies talk to each other with light.

Fireflies emit light mostly to attract mates, although they also communicate
for other reasons as well, such as to defend territory and warn predators
away. In some firefly species, only one sex lights up. In most, however,
both sexes glow; often the male will fly, while females will wait in trees,
shrubs and grasses to spot an attractive male. If she finds one, she'll
signal it with a flash of her own.

Fireflies produce "cold light."

Firefly lights are the most efficient lights in the world-100% of the
energy is emitted as light. Compare that to an incandescent bulb, which
emits 10% of its energy as light and the rest as heat, or a fluorescent
bulb, which emits 90% of its energy as light. Because it produces no heat,
scientists refer to firefly lights as "cold lights."

In a firefly's tail, you'll find two chemicals: luciferase and luciferin.
Luciferin is heat resistant, and it glows under the right conditions.
Luciferase is an enzyme that triggers light emission. ATP, a chemical
within the firefly's body, converts to energy and initiates the glow.
All living things, not just fireflies, contain ATP.

Firefly eggs glow.

Adult fireflies aren't the only ones that glow. In some species, the
larvae and even the eggs emit light. Firefly eggs have been observed to
flash in response to stimulus such as gentle tapping or vibrations.

Fireflies eat other fireflies.

Fireflies are primarily carnivorous. Larvae usually eat snails and worms.
Some species of fireflies feed on other fireflies-most notable is the
genus photuris, which mimics female flashes of photinus,
a closely related species, in order to attract and devour the males of
that species. But adult fireflies have almost never been seen feeding
on other species of bugs. Scientists aren't sure what they eat. They may
feed on plant pollen and nectar, or they may eat nothing.

Fireflies have short lifespans.

An adult firefly lives only long enough to mate and lay eggs-so they
may not need to eat during their adult life stage. The larvae usually
live for approximately one to two years, from mating season to mating season,
before becoming adults and giving birth to the next generation.

Fireflies imitate each other.

Female photuris aren't the only impostors among fireflies-the
species is surprisingly devious when it comes to imitation. Sometimes
male photuris imitate male photinus to attract females of
their own species. She shows up looking for food, but instead he gets
a mate.

Even more interesting, scientists believe some photinus males
imitate photuris females giving off bad impressions of photinus
male flashes, scaring off other photinus males and reducing competition.

Fireflies are found on almost every continent.

Fireflies love warm, humid areas. Because of this, they thrive in tropical
regions as well as temperate zones-they come out in the summertime in
these environments-on all continents except Antarctica. Fireflies thrive
in forests, fields and marshes near lakes, rivers, ponds, streams and
vernal pools. They need a moist environment to survive.

Some species of firefly larvae are generally aquatic-they even have gills-while
others live almost entirely in trees.

Fireflies are medically and scientifically useful.

The two chemicals found in a firefly's tail, luciferase and luciferin,
light up in the presence of ATP. Every animal has ATP in its cells in
amounts that are more or less constant-or should be. In diseased cells,
the amount of ATP may be abnormal. If the chemicals from fireflies are
injected into diseased cells, they can detect changes in cells that can
be used to study many diseases, from cancer to muscular dystrophy.

But that's not all they're used for. Electronic detectors built with
these chemicals have been fitted into spacecraft to detect life in outer
space, as well as food spoilage and bacterial contamination on earth.

Fireflies don't make tasty prey.

When attacked, fireflies shed drops of blood in a process known as "reflex
bleeding." The blood contains chemicals that taste bitter and can be poisonous
to some animals. Because of this, many animals learn to avoid eating fireflies.
Pet owners should never feed fireflies to lizards, snakes and other reptilian
pets.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fireflies are disappearing all over the world, and it's believed to be
because of human encroachment on habitat and increased light pollution
from development and traffic. But there are a few things you can do to
help fireflies make a comeback in your area.

None of these steps have been proven to work, mainly because scientists
have only been studying firefly populations for a few years and data is
still inconclusive. But signs point to human development, light pollution
and toxic chemicals as likely culprits behind the dwindling of firefly
populations. Follow these steps, and with luck your yard will once again
sparkle on summer nights.

Turn off outside lights at night.

Fireflies use their flashing lights to signal each other, attract mates
and warn of danger. While the science is still preliminary, it's likely
that human light pollution can disrupt their flashes-making it harder
for fireflies to find mates and breed. This leads to fewer fireflies mating
and smaller numbers in subsequent generations. You can make your yard
a haven for fireflies by turning off exterior and garden lights, and drawing
your blinds at night so that interior light doesn't brighten your yard
too much.

Let logs and litter accumulate.

Some species of firefly larvae grow up in rotten logs and the litter
that accumulates beneath the forest canopy. To encourage their growth,
plant some trees on your property. If you have trees in your yard, consider
leaving some natural litter around them to give firefly larvae a place
to grow.

Create water features in your landscape.

Most species of fireflies have one thing in common: they thrive around
standing water and marshy areas. Ponds, streams and rivers can all provide
good habitats for fireflies, but even a small depression full of water
can cause them to congregate. Build a small pond or divert a small stream
to run through your property, and it's more likely you'll see fireflies
at night. Chemically treated swimming pools aren't a good substitute;
fireflies are believed to eat the smaller insects, grubs and snails that
thrive in natural ponds and streams, and these don't live in chlorinated
environments.

Avoid use of pesticides, especially lawn chemicals.

It's likely that chemical pesticides and weed killers may also have a
negative effect on firefly populations. Fireflies and their larvae may
come into contact with other insects that have been poisoned, or they
may ingest the poisons from plants that have been sprayed. Avoid using
pesticides on your lawn and you may boost firefly populations.

While no formal studies have been done specifically targeted to the effects of lawn chemicals on fireflies. Two known studies indirectly suggest that these chemicals may be harmful to fireflies and larvae. The first study suggests that lawn chemicals are toxic to insects in the lawn where firefly larvae are found [1]. The other study provides proof that lawn chemicals are very toxic to the food that sustains firefly larvae [2]. Both show that lawn chemicals can have a serious detrimental effect on fireflies throughout all growth stages.

The best thing you can do to support fireflies is stop using lawn chemicals and broad spectrum pesticides. Firefly larvae eat other undesirable insects, so they are nature's natural pest control.

A notable example of how pesticide overspraying has affected a local population
is the extinction of the dusky seaside sparrow who was native to the salt
marshes of Merritt Island in Florida. Its habitat was sprayed with DDT
to control mosquitoes and human development quickly changed the ecosystem
so much that the bird could not compensate and went extinct.

Many communities over spray for mosquitoes at night just when fireflies
are active, flashing and mating. Such over spraying can wipe out firefly
populations. These same communities often do not implement more effective
control of mosquitoes, such as neighborhood programs to reduce standing
water, especially in swimming pools, and usage of mosquito larvacides
to prevent the growth and development of mosquitoes in drainage ditches.
By encouraging broad spectrum mosquito control efforts and discouraging
spraying at times when fireflies are active, communities can actually
save money and effect better control of mosquitoes, causing less impact
to firefly species and other small animals.

Use natural fertilizers.

While no conclusive studies have been done, it's possible that chemical
fertilizers may have a harmful effect on firefly populations as well-especially
since many harmful chemicals in pesticides are also found in chemical
fertilizers. Using natural fertilizers may make your yard a more healthy
place for fireflies.

Don't over-mow your lawn.

Fireflies mainly stay on the ground during the day, and frequent mowing
may disturb local firefly populations. While you may feel that you need
to keep your lawn mowed for aesthetic purposes, consider incorporating
some areas of long grasses into your landscaping. Fireflies prefer to
live in long grasses, and doing this may boost their population in your
yard.

Plant native trees.

Fast growing pine and native trees provide a good habitat for many species
of fireflies. Naturalist Terry Lynch, who has studied fireflies for many
years, recommends Pine trees because they provide shade and the low light
area provided by a canopy actually increasing the amount of time fireflies
have to find a mate. Also, the litter produced by pine trees, if left
to accumulate, provides a good habitat for earthworms and other small
animals which firefly larvae feed upon.

Do NOT introduce earthworms to you yard.

What's so bad about a worm? For many of us, seeing earthworms under rocks,
on sidewalks after rainstorms, and in our gardens is just a fact of life.
Few of us think to question the presence of worms or their impact on fireflies.

The truth about earthworms is this: they are not native to any of the northern
United States or Canada. Any worms that were here originally were wiped out during
the last glaciation. It would be pretty hard for a creature that lives in the
upper topsoil to survive the crushing weight, scraping, and sedimentary deposits of
a mile-thick hunk of ice.

The impact of earthworms is not limited to plants. The reduction in plant diversity
and leaf litter affects the habitat and food availability of insects such as fireflies, which affects the
food chain on up, reducing the food available to reptiles, amphibians, birds and small
mammals.

The earthworms we currently have in the region are of European origin (which are
the same species that you can pick up at a bait shop) and were introduced by settlers
~300 years ago and have been on a human aided journey west since then. These non-native
earthworms are contributing to some ecological effects in these glaciated areas
that for the last ~12,000 years developed earthworms free. There are native earthworms
along the East coast of North America but these populations are small and localized.
Current research in that area is showing that these non-native earthworms are having
negative effects on native earthworm species also.

Talk to your neighbors.

If you live in a suburban area in close proximity to others, what you
do in your own yard will help-but you can create even more habitat for
fireflies by enlisting your neighbors in your efforts. Tell your neighbors
about your concern over dwindling firefly populations and what they can
do to help. If you convince even one or two people on your street, you
could help increase firefly habitat in your area even more.

Fireflies are disappearing all over the world. But there are a few things
you could do to help-and every little bit counts. Allow some room for
wildness on your property-low-hanging trees, forest litter, and long grasses
all create welcoming environments for fireflies. Ponds and streams are
crucial to firefly populations, and you can further encourage their numbers
by reducing the amount of light in your yard at night and by cutting back
on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Follow these tips, and it's possible
you could see a resurgence of fireflies in your area.

You can use your flashlight by pretending to be a firefly! Flash it on in off in a pattern you see while you are outside. Aim it at the sky and not directly at the fireflies so you don't scare them off.
You can also use your light to help you see at night to catch the fireflies. When doing this, you should flash fast so you don't scare them away. (Try watching the "GLOW BUGS! - How to Build a Lightning Bug Lantern for an example).  You can  consider using blue paper or cellophane to be taped over your flashlight.  Fireflies can't see blue, so they will not be scared away.

Hello! It's Megan from Homemade Ginger again with a kids craft that everyone is sure to love. These little fireflies would be the perfect craft for a campout or a summer birthday party!

In the past, most of my kids' craft ideas (such as this fake flower craft) have been geared towards girls because I had three daughters so girls were all I knew. All of my girls are super girly, so our house was full of princesses and pink. Well, this summer we were blessed with a baby boy! It's been so much fun but definitely an adjustment when we've had all girls in the house for the past 8 years. So, I've started to think about crafts and activities that would be perfect for both boys and girls when my little guy is old enough to join in the fun. These fireflies are the perfect example of a kids activity that both boys and girls alike will absolutely love.

Even though I have girly daughters, one thing they do love is camping. My husband will set up our giant tent in the backyard and they will enjoy summer nights "camping" outside. I think these fireflies will be the perfect campout activity for them to make and play with after it gets dark. I know once my son is old enough to join in on the campouts, he will love this craft as well!

I was inspired by this pop bottle craft but I decided to try to make some mini versions of the fireflies out of water bottles. You could definitely use the same methods to make a larger pop bottle version if you wish. If you are making these for an outdoor birthday party, it will probably be easier to get your hands on a bunch of water bottles.

Pop Bottle Firefly

The full printable instructions are at the bottom of this post, but here's what you will need:

Water Bottles or Pop Bottles

Tissue Paper

Glow Sticks

Pipe Cleaners

Googly Eyes

Foam Sheets

Mod Podge

Foam Brush

Glue Gun

Aren't these the cutest little fire flies!

Make them in all different colors!

Since the tissue paper is slightly transparent, it glows when the glow stick is lit up in the dark.

Your kids will adore playing with their fireflies!

Pop Bottle Firefly

This project will make you love turning your trash into treasure! Make them this spring for some outdoor evening fun or turn off the lights inside on a rainy day!
