The goal of this project is to collect firefly data to add to our research on population decline and a better understanding of these creatures.
Over the past few years, many have been concerned about dwindling numbers of lightning bugs. While hard data on this issue is difficult to come by, some suggest that urbanization with its destruction of natural habitats and the eruption of brightly lit homes and buildings has disrupted the normal ecology and behavior of these remarkable creatures.
