3. What do fireflies eat?

Fireflies are small carnivorous beetles that feed on snails.

If a snail encounters any danger, it will retract its head into its hard shell, and many of its natural enemies are helpless against it.

How can a small, weak and clumsy firefly deal with it? There is a pair of jaws on the top of the firefly's head, which are as thin as hair and very sharp.

When a firefly catches a snail, it first taps the snail gently with its jaws. The snail does not take the firefly seriously at all and even thinks that being tapped a few times is very comfortable, like a massage.

The tapping of a firefly is to inject it with a kind of venom.

The snail was paralyzed without realizing it until it lost consciousness.

When the snail is poisoned, the firefly injects another liquid, turning the snail's flesh into a liquid, which it then drinks with its tubular mouth.
