Firefly biologists be like "I know a place" and then take you into the woods in the dark and tell you not to turn on your headlamp.

Not so friendly reminder that black people are still being killed for the color of their skin, native women are going missing, and ICE is gassing people and has "lost" 3000+ children. We have to keep fighting.

#FireflyFriday This lesser spectacled glow-worm (Lamprohiza mulsanti; #Lampyridae) from France was posted by iNaturalist user benoitteyssendier. Some really spectacular pictures of this species. #FireflyMagic inaturalist.org/observations/4…

A newly named firefly species pays homage to Jim Lloyd, FLORIDA's own "Firefly Doc" for 50+ years. “To this day, his field studies represent the most comprehensive and detailed documentation of firefly behavior that’s ever been done." bit.ly/3pDEEcQ #UFBugs UFEntomology

Great observation by laurent_h on iNaturalist. #Firefly larva feasting on a snail. #FireflyFriday #FireflyMagic inaturalist.org/observations/6…

🔥✨🧩🔥✨🧩🔥✨.🧩About 💯 million years ago, the very first baby 👶 fireflies learned to glow with a green protective light. Reconstruction of ancient #firefly enzymes fills in a new puzzle piece 😲#evolution #exaptation #bioluminescence advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/49/e…

Only possums can look fierce and confused at the same time

Heads-up, tweeps. Tag along with Oliver Keller Ph.D. to enjoy a year-long firefly extravaganza! May #fireflies be a light in the darkness!

Look at those antennae!!!!

Check out this cute 👶 baby 👶firefly (it’s a Lamprigera firefly from Asia) 💚

#FireflyMagic Day 36. Our first #firefly from CA is Microphotus angustus the #California Pink Glowworm. The female retains a larval-like appearance and glows while the male looks like a normal firefly but has no light organs as an adult. Great pics on iNaturalist #FireflyFriday

Excited that Firefly Aerospace will be landing tools for #science discovery on the moon. And so cool that their ingenuity has been inspired by real #FireflyMagic! Their Blue Ghost lunar lander is named after... 1/n

Found this adorable #firefly larvae glowing in my garden last night! Did you know these baby fireflies live underground for up to 2 years? In this dark environment their glow makes an easy-to-remember signa to potential predators that fireflies taste really yucky (trust me).

In which I drivel on about fireflies & wonder with the folks who started the very first ✨FIREFLY SANCTUARY✨! Take a listen if you've got a few... podbean.com/ew/pb-mbq7u-10…

Check out these fat & happy firefly #larvae 🥰, their guts full of pre-digested snail (🐌not shown). Yum! Say's Firefly, Pyractomena angulata; 2 weeks old #babies #bioluminescence #beetles #lifecycle #backstory
