CATDOLL : CATDOLL: When are fireflies most active?

1. During which solar term do fireflies emerge?

Around the Great Heat. Every summer, fireflies appear. However, it should be noted that watching fireflies also depends on the time and location. In addition, according to the habits of fireflies, they are usually most active from the time when the sun sets to the evening, generally around 7 to 9 o'clock.

2. Which season is for fireflies?

Fireflies usually appear by rivers, ponds, and farmlands in summer, and their range of activity does not leave the pure water source. The activity time of adult fireflies varies depending on the species. There are diurnal and nocturnal species during the day and night. We often see fireflies at night, but in fact, the nocturnal species of fireflies appear at 6 pm. Because it is daylight, we don't notice them. Nocturnal fireflies are usually active until 3 or 4 in the morning. Generally speaking, most species start to be active after sunset.

3.5 What are the characteristics of firefly light and why does it glow?

Fireflies glow to mate!

Fireflies have a short life span, transforming from pupae to flying insects in fifty days. Their glowing life span is two weeks at most and three days at the shortest.

It is most active during the two weeks between late May and mid-June each year.

Thousands of male fireflies flash in the wild, like a cascading waterfall, which is their love song to send out courtship signals to attract female fireflies.

The female fireflies lurk low, examining the numerous backups and waiting for their chance to strike.

This is when she finds a male firefly that flashes for a long time. Males that can flash for a long time are considered the sexiest and are also their mate selection criteria.

So, when a particularly attractive male firefly flashes at a female, if she likes it, she will point her tail towards the male and flash back.

As long as there is light, male fireflies and female fireflies can find each other in the dark night, fall in love with each other, and combine the essence of their short lives into countless eggs. They rush towards death without hesitation, looking forward to the next cycle of life.

Japanese photographer Tsuneaki Hiramatsu once used a slow shutter speed and multiple exposures to capture a series of fireflies mating after a storm. The pictures are very romantic and charming.

4. What are the biological habits of fireflies?

1. Fireflies are mainly distributed in temperate, tropical and subtropical regions. There are more than 50 species found in my country, mainly concentrated in the southeastern coastal provinces.

2. Fireflies mainly rely on two ways of living: aquatic and terrestrial. The terrestrial ones are the majority, often hiding in places with lush vegetation, high altitudes, and high humidity. If they live in water, they have higher requirements for the environment, and the water must be pure and not polluted at all.

3. It takes a total of six transformations for a firefly to transform from a larva to a pupa. Young fireflies like to eat crustaceans and snails. They are first anesthetized by injecting liquid with a needle before decomposing their flesh.

4. In early spring, fireflies will start to crawl up the shore and then burrow into the soil. At this time, they will change their breathing method and emit light from both sides of their abdomen. In less than two months, they will transform from pupae to insects. However, the average lifespan is not long, basically only five days. Generally, fireflies are more active at sunset and will use light to transmit signals to each other.

5. Which month has the most fireflies?

Fireflies have a beautiful and romantic meaning, but their lifespan is very short, usually only 3-7 days, but they can shine throughout their lives, and such a life is very meaningful. Fireflies like to live in hot and humid places, so they are most numerous in summer. June, July and August are the months when fireflies are most active. At night, in the fields and by the river, especially in places with water, you can often see a group of fireflies enjoying this beautiful night. They have cells that can glow in their bodies and synthesize luciferin, which is the secret of luminescence.

Therefore, fireflies prefer hot and humid summers, with the most people in June, July and August. Fields and riverbanks, especially places with water, are their happy gathering places.
