Fireflies only fly around and flash to find mates for a brief two-week period, before they mate, lay eggs and then die. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625850327775-UVQ55PG8KBZ0BDIT5IM5/180706_FireflyFinal09_needs+closeup_macro+included.jpg Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies A firefly spends the majority of its life – roughly two years – underground as tiny larvae (as seen under a microscope). Firefly larvae are predatory, and some species specialize in devouring earthworms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625850403574-DK7ITNCZ9T756TVXZ2UZ/180706FireflyFinal08.JPG Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies Tufts PhD student Avalon Owens brings a firefly pupa out in the lab. Even at a young age, a firefly is able to glow, signaling its toxicity to predators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625850429896-732JZ95R0QZ3NEQIX7K1/firefly354.jpg Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies Research assistant Francisca Donkor (left), PhD student Avalon Owens and research assistant Vaidehi Chotai, share a laugh after setting up equipment at their field site on a wooded trail in Concord, Mass. The team is testing whether light pollution and specific colors of light impact firefly courtship and preferences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625850428669-0OZ113GTIFUKNLAAWR77/firefly286.jpg Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies Research assistant Oliver Nguyen (left) shines some light on Avalon Owens as she holds a male firefly in the palm of her hand at their research site in the woods of Concord, Mass. The team conducts their research entirely in the dark, and only turn on their red headlamps at the end of the evening, once all of the data has been collected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625851573545-IGBVHSR163W7PGQQ1XDH/180707FireflyFinal10.JPG Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies Before releasing him into the night sky, researchers mark a male firefly with nontoxic paint to ensure that they do not recapture him in future experiments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625891960829-0AM3EUL8FVOVXNUXSYPC/FireflyFinal07.jpg Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies Fireflies are beetles. “They fly using just one pair of wings…. And they have a second pair of wings that have been modified into hardened covers that fold back when the firefly isn’t flying, to protect those delicate flight wings. That’s a characteristic of all kinds of beetles, like ladybug beetles,” says Sara Lewis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625851689922-9R2S73JRXY6LLOA10VVO/180702_FireflyFinal05.JPG Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies Although they are capable of flying, North American female fireflies often sit in the grass, looking towards the sky for a particularly attractive suitor to fly by. Research shows that female fireflies prefer “flashy” males who either have a higher flash rate or who give slightly longer flashes than other males of the same species. Once a female firefly sees a male that she likes, she flashes back, and the courtship begins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625851692251-SOSQKT5Z97PK38XFVGH2/FireflyFinal06.JPG Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies There are more than 2,000 species of fireflies worldwide. Lightning bugs live in woods, meadows, and wetland areas and can be found on every continent except Antarctica. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625851416332-15GF1A1XKEOTH2O16KC9/DM6A2726_2.jpg Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies Lights from a nearby house backlight a male and female firefly in a suburban backyard. Firefly populations appear to be on the decline, likely due to habitat loss, use of pesticides, and light pollution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1625805050477-V0RV5IIJEQTO8V773DW1/DM6A2024.jpg Episode 3 - The Jekyll and Hydes in Our Backyards: The Weird and Wonderful World of Fireflies - Make it stand out In this double exposure, a female firefly (foreground) responds to a nearby male flashing in the grass. Fireflies communicate through light, using species-specific flash patterns to attract mates during the summer. The male and female continue a “flash dialogue,” a call-and-response pattern, until the male finds her in the dark.

Create a firefly-friendly habitat just by letting your grass grow! And avoid using pesticides and herbicides. 2. Turn off your porch light and use curtains at night. Light pollution impacts fireflies’ ability to communicate. 3. Join Firefly Watch (link) to help scientists learn more about firefly populations and how to protect them.

Plant native flowers Find out how to make your garden native-bee friendly with these handy guides: * Why pollinator gardens are important * Discover which plants are native to your region * How-to-guides for gardening with bees in mind 2. Provide habitat * Leave a little debris and leaf litter in your yard - it’s where bees will nest! * Try making your own bee hotel! 3. Avoid all pesticides Pesticides are often deadly to bees and hurt ecosystems 4. Provide fresh water Like all creatures, bees need to stay hydrated. A fresh cup of H20 will do a bee some good on a hot day 5. Share what you know! “Nothing beats word of mouth!” says bee expert Nick Dorian. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1556137275333-W5K0YZHU1DF0OGM02Q82/180813_beemacro170.jpg Episode 3 - The Mick Jaggers of Pollen: Why Native Bees Rock - Long-horned bee (Melissodes sp.) There are more than 4,000 different species of native bees in North America, and can vary a lot in size, color and life cycle. Aptly named for their long antennae, long-horned bees are known for pollinating sunflowers and other native plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597f8e89414fb5dccd422ee1/1556137262152-8UOVYLZ3KTRZZSUASSX0/180813_beemacro274.jpg Episode 3 - The Mick Jaggers of Pollen: Why Native Bees Rock - Sweat bee (Agapostemon sp.)
