- Firefly larvae (the little worm-like part of their life cycle) and
adult fireflies are found near rotted wood around ponds and rivers.
They also live in people's yards in some parts of the World.
- They usually live in the warm, humid parts of the World. But, some
kinds of fireflies are found in desert areas.
- They have a chemical in their abdomens which glows in the dark.
The light flickers on and off. We are not sure how they turn their
lights off and on.
- The larvae eat dead earthworms, snails, and other kinds of dead
things.
