5 Interesting Facts About Fireflies!

Fireflies produce cold light - their bioluminescence is almost 100% efficient, converting nearly all the chemical energy into light with virtually no heat produced. By comparison, a regular light bulb converts only about 10% of energy into light.
Each firefly species has its own unique flash pattern - males flash in species-specific codes and females respond from the ground, creating a species-specific light language.
Fireflies spend most of their lives as larvae underground - the glowing adult phase we're familiar with lasts only a few weeks, purely for finding a mate.
Some species of firefly synchronise their flashes - thousands of individuals will pulse in perfect unison, creating a breathtaking display that attracts tourists to the Great Smoky Mountains in the USA every summer.
Firefly populations are declining worldwide due to light pollution, habitat loss and pesticides - artificial lights disrupt their flash signals and make it harder for them to find mates.
