CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Are fireflies difficult to raise? (Why are fireflies difficult to raise?)

1. Can fireflies be farmed?

Answer: Fireflies can be artificially bred, but it is relatively difficult to do so. Since the industry of artificial breeding of fireflies is still unclear and the relevant breeding management system is relatively localized, the current breeding technology of fireflies is not yet mature. Generally, the fireflies sold on the market are almost all caught in the wild. Fireflies are also known as night-light, night-light, night-light, firefly, and night-light. It is a small beetle that is named firefly because its tail can emit fluorescence.

2.20 What is the simplest way to breed fireflies?

A transparent glass bottle, preferably one that is relatively wide and has a wide mouth, clean it.

Method/Step 2:

The next thing, of course, is to catch fireflies. Although fireflies can fly, they usually lie motionless on leaves and are very easy to catch.

Method/Step 3:

After catching fireflies, remember to seal the bottle mouth with a fine net or gauze in time.

Method/Step 4:

Rearing environment

Pick some fresh grass and flowers and put them in a glass bottle. The lifespan of adult fireflies is very short, and they only eat some dew, juice, pollen and the like, so you don’t have to worry too much about what to feed them.

Method/Step 5:

During the breeding process, sprinkle some water appropriately to provide them with life support. Dew is the best.

Method/Step 6:

snails

Although it is a bit cruel, it is true that fireflies eat snails, especially in the larval stage. During the breeding process, we can catch a few snails. At this time, since it is a transparent glass bottle, interested friends can observe the process of fireflies eating snails.

Method/Step 7:

It is also possible to use a glass cover, but remember to ventilate it every once in a while. Fireflies are not very active, so they will not fly away even if the glass cover is opened for a while. Putting some flowers on it can be a decoration, and if you are giving it as a gift, you can put some pretty flowers.

Method/Step 8:

Finally, remember to release them in time. Fireflies released at night are like stars flying back into the sky, very beautiful. Suitable for chasing girls.

3. Detailed method of 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.
