I really enjoyed seeing Bucknell University Professor Sarah Lower (Sarah Lower), #biology, and the students who assist her in her research on #fireflies featured in this story in The Atlantic. tinyurl.com/cpzx4shf

Fireflies have some of the coolest larvae! Lampyris sp. larva from Lagodekhi protected area, Georgia.

Morpho butterflies are amazing. This is one of my favorites, Morpho cypris. Striking metallic blue iridescence! The wings actually don’t have blue pigment, it’s made from scale structure and way the light reflects! Specimens in the #McGuireCenter at FLORIDA ⁦Florida Museum⁩

Did you know newly dead corals can lose significant amounts of calcium carbonate? In this new study led by Francisco Medellín published in Communications Biology Nature Portfolio, we found losses of up to 40% one year following mortality. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Magical video of fireflies lighting up a rural Pennsylvania field at dusk captured by video artist Diana Lehr.

The orchid mantis is a spectacular beauty with legs and abdomen resembling the petals of an orchid (see comments). Interestingly, we don't usually see them in proximity to any orchids.

What a breathtakingly beautiful turnout at the marcha de luciérnagas (march of the fireflies) last night in Hermosillo! Hundreds of land & water protectors are battling an industrial train line being built through habitat for endangered jaguars & ocelots near the Arizona border.

#Fireflies as a “gateway bug” for conservation? Artists are exploring ways to boost firefly #conservation as many species decline. #LightningBugs aren’t the only #insects that could benefit. A PNAS Science and Culture piece: ow.ly/5mIU50QcFs5 #ClimateChange #SciComm #SciArt

Because fireflies are toxic, lots of other insects have evolved ways to look like them!

Excellent thread that's worth your time! We also recommend following IUCN SSC Firefly Specialist Group and Sara Lewis to learn more about firefly conservation.
