おもしろい事実
Larval fireflies, called glowworms, also light up to warn predators they taste terrible!
Not all fireflies glow! Some species use scent signals instead of light to find mates.
Their light is 'cold light,' meaning it creates almost no heat, making it super energy efficient!
Winter Fireflies are actually beetles, not true flies, despite their common name!
