Chemicals used to control insect populations are, not surprisingly, interfering with fireflies as well. The adult species may live for less than a month, but the larvae live in water for up to two years, which makes them particularly susceptible to chemical runoff. The larvae live and grow in...

Fireflies are often found in meadows or next to creeks, as they like damp areas. Photo Credit: Wesleyan University. How Do Fireflies Glow? Photocytes, or light cells, in the insect’s abdomen, are where the glow is produced. This light, the result of the chemical reaction ofbioluminescence...
Fireflies are the flashy stars of the insect world. At night, you can see them coming because each little bug shines like a lamp – and, appropriately, they belong to the beetle family Lampyridae.
The reindeer’s double coat of fur does not extend to its legs. In cold weather, reindeer constrict, or tighten, their blood vessels, causing less blood to flow and essentially turning down the temperature in their legs. This helps to keep their body heat steady. ...
