Pyractomena

Pyractomena

Pyractomena is a special type of firefly that lights up the night! These little insects are known for their glowing bodies and can be found dancing in the dark during warm months.

生息地: Wetlands

外見

The Pyractomena is a soft-bodied beetle typically dark brown to black, with a reddish-orange pronotum (the shield-like plate behind its head) that often has a dark central spot. Its wing covers are somewhat flattened and dull, covering several yellow or orange light-producing segments at the end of its abdomen, which set it apart from many other beetles.
