Fireflies in decline as natural habitats are destroyed by urban sprawl, industrial pollution and artificial lights.
S found this news article for me. It's so sad.
They are one of my favorite insects. "There are about 2,000 species, and researchers are constantly discovering new ones. Many have never been studied, and scientists know little about the potential threats to them, or about the meaning of their Morse code-like flashes, which signal anything from love to danger."
I remember having caught one when I was very little and being completely fascinated with its glow... watching it intently, huddled in the back of the car while some song about a fragrant flower played on the radio.

Poor fireflies. Unfortunately, I've never seen one in real life before.
