CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What is the temperature and humidity for raising fireflies? Why? (What is the temperature and humidity for raising fireflies? Why can't we raise them?)

1. What are the conditions for breeding fireflies?

The feeding device can be a wire cage or a glass bottle, but be sure to leave ventilation holes. You can also use a transparent plastic box, but also be sure to leave ventilation holes. It is best to use iron gauze as a cover. This kind of insect will not fight or bite each other, so multiple insects can be raised together. You can put some young locust leaves or freshly picked grass in the bottle, and cover the bottle mouth with plastic gauze, iron gauze or gauze. It is advisable to maintain a certain humidity in the bottle. You can sprinkle a little water every day, and spray some water before feeding the young grass or locust leaves.

After fireflies transform into adults, most species of fireflies hardly eat or drink, and often only eat dew, honeydew or pollen and nectar. In South America, a few species of firefly adults will glow and prey on other types of fireflies or small phototactic insects as food.

Firefly habits:

1. Fireflies love to eat the body fluids of snails. You can catch 1-2 live snails every 2-3 days and put them in the feeder for them to eat. If the feeder is a glass bottle or a transparent plastic box, you can observe them eating snails.

2. If you raise 10 to 25 fireflies in a bottle, you only need to provide 1 snail each time. If you raise more than 25 fireflies, you can put 2 snails each time. Fireflies can generally be raised for 15 to 20 days, and if they are well raised, they can live for 1 month.

3. Firefly larvae are terrestrial species, so they should be covered with fine nets to prevent them from escaping; a vegetable garden can be planted to raise snails for the larvae to prey on. For aquatic species, artificial rivers can be built to allow the water to circulate, and it would be best if there were artificial waterfalls to increase the amount of oxygen dissolved naturally.

1. The feeding device can be a wire cage or a glass bottle, but be sure to leave ventilation holes. You can also use a transparent plastic box, also be sure to leave ventilation holes, and it is best to use a wire mesh cover.

2. Fireflies will not fight or bite each other, so multiple fireflies can be kept together. You can put some tender locust leaves or freshly picked tender grass in the bottle, and cover the bottle mouth with plastic yarn, iron yarn or gauze. The bottle should maintain a certain humidity, and you can sprinkle a little water every day, and spray some water before adding tender grass or locust leaves.

If it is a glass bottle or a transparent plastic box feeder, you can observe it eating snails. If you raise 10 to 25 fireflies in the bottle, you only need to feed 1 snail each time. If you raise more than 25 fireflies, you can put 2 snails each time. Generally, it can be raised for 15 to 20 days. If it is raised well, it can live for 1 month.

Firefly breeding management

1. Breeding site: Firefly breeding sites should be arranged as close to the natural environment as possible. Aquatic and terrestrial environments can be considered. Note that the river slopes should be soil to provide space for mature larvae to pupate.

2. Terrestrial species: If the firefly larvae are terrestrial, they should be covered with a fine net to prevent them from escaping. You can also plant a vegetable garden to raise snails for the larvae to prey on. Terrestrial firefly larvae mostly eat smaller snails, although there are some exceptions, such as the two-colored firefly that only eats earthworms and not snails.

3. Aquatic species: For aquatic species, artificial rivers can be built to allow water to circulate. It is best to have artificial waterfalls to increase the amount of oxygen dissolved naturally. However, it should be noted that firefly larvae require a slow-flowing environment. Then carp and other species can be raised in the river, and algae can be reproduced with the feces of the carp. These algae can provide food for snails, and the firefly larvae can prey on these snails, and sometimes also eat small fish, tadpoles, etc.

4. Adult management: After the fireflies pupate and transform into adults, most species of fireflies almost do not eat or drink, and often only eat dew, honeydew or pollen and nectar. In South America, there are a few species of adult fireflies that will glow and prey on other types of fireflies or small phototactic insects as food.

4. What are the detailed methods for feeding fireflies?

Use a transparent plastic box, make sure to leave ventilation holes, and preferably cover it with wire mesh. This kind of insects will not fight or bite each other, so multiple insects can be raised together.

You can put some young locust leaves or freshly picked grass in the bottle and cover the mouth of the bottle with plastic yarn, iron yarn or gauze.

The humidity in the bottle should be maintained at a certain level. You can sprinkle a little water every day and spray some water before supplying the tender grass or locust leaves.

Fireflies love to eat the body fluids of snails. Every 2 to 3 days, you can catch 1 to 2 live snails and put them in a feeding container for them to eat.

If it is a glass bottle or a transparent plastic box feeder, you can observe it eating snails at this time.

If you keep 10 to 25 fireflies in a bottle, you only need to provide 1 snail each time. If you keep more than 25 fireflies, you can put 2 snails each time. Fireflies can generally be kept for 15 to 20 days, and if they are well kept, they can live for 1 month.

5. What are the conditions for artificially breeding fireflies?

The feeding device can be a wire cage or a glass bottle, but be sure to leave ventilation holes. You can also use a transparent plastic box, but also be sure to leave ventilation holes. It is best to use iron gauze as a cover. This kind of insect will not fight or bite each other, so multiple insects can be raised together.

7. What are the living habits of fireflies?

1. Fireflies only live for 5 days to 2 weeks. They emit light to attract the opposite sex. The light emission time generally lasts only 2 to 3 hours. The interval between flashes varies among different species. Both adults and larvae are predatory and mostly occur near water and in warm and humid places. The other two families are active during the day and do not emit light. ;

2. Carnivorous, they prey on mollusks such as snails and slugs and annelids such as earthworms. After obtaining the prey, they use their upper jaws to inject secretions into the prey's body for external digestion and then absorb it into the body. A snail will have many fireflies to share. ;

3. Firefly eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults can all emit light. The light emission of firefly larvae is believed to have the function of warning and intimidating natural enemies, while adults are believed to use flashes for species identification, courtship, and trapping. ; Extended information: ; Male fireflies emit specific flashes while flying in the air, and female fireflies send out response signals, which male fireflies use to find and locate female fireflies. The duration and interval of female fireflies' flashes are species-specific, so they can provide species information, gender information, and location information to male fireflies. ; In the competition between male fireflies of the same species, natural selection pressure makes the courtship rituals of male fireflies before mating more and more complicated and last longer and longer. ; Female fireflies do not simply choose male fireflies with the brightest flashes. Factors such as male individual size, movement speed, and mating guard posture also determine the female fireflies' choice of male fireflies.
