1. What is the body surface temperature of a firefly?The fluorescence emitted by fireflies comes from the chemical reaction of luciferin and adenosine triphosphate catalyzed by luciferase. Because the energy conversion efficiency of the reaction is extremely high, it only emits light without generating heat, which is called cold light. Fireflies emit light because of fluorescent protein. The closer to its optimal temperature, the more active this protein is. It seems to be 37° Fireflies glow because of fluorescent proteins, which become more active the closer they are to their optimal temperature. 2.

How to raise fireflies so that flowers and plants can smile like during the day?How to raise fireflies Family-style feeding 1. If the larvae are aquatic, place soil, gravel and rocks containing aquatic plants in the aquarium; then put in the vertebral snails caught from the river, and the larvae can survive. In order for the larvae to get enough oxygen, an air pump should be equipped. The water temperature can be maintained between 15-25℃, and the pH value of the water can be maintained between 6.5-8. Note that there is a muddy bank protruding from the water surface in one corner of the aquarium for mature larvae to pupate. It is even better if the aquarium can be equipped with a filter. 2. If the larvae are terrestrial, place 5-7 cm thick loam mixed with sand in the aquarium, plant various weeds, small wood chips, fallen leaves and broken tiles on top; then put in small snails collected from the wild, which can feed on vegetable leaves. Be careful to remove rotten leaves and eaten snail shells. Larger scale breeding The method for terrestrial species is the same as above, but a fine net should be used to prevent the larvae from escaping; for aquatic species, an artificial river can be built to allow the water to circulate, preferably with an artificial waterfall to increase the amount of oxygen dissolved naturally. Then carp or carp 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 larvae of fireflies can prey on these snails. Note that the slope of the river should be soil for mature larvae to pupate. As for the source of insects, larvae can be collected from unpolluted ponds and rivers, or by following the glow of fireflies at night to find larvae active on the wet ground. If female insects are captured, they can also be placed in a petri dish containing moist filter paper and attempts can be made to collect eggs. The firefly eggs obtained can then be used as the source of insects. 4. What is the color temperature of fireflies?The fluorescence emitted by fireflies comes from the chemical reaction of luciferin and adenosine triphosphate catalyzed by luciferase. Because the energy conversion efficiency of the reaction is extremely high, it only emits light without generating heat, which is called cold light. Fireflies emit light because of fluorescent protein. The closer to its optimal temperature, the more active this protein is. It seems to be 37° |
