Just like in the song “10 Million Fireflies” by Owl City,
today Peggy Butler explained how fireflies live and how to catch them. The insects use their chemical mix in the
back to communicate with other lighting bugs. Pennsylvania is one of the places
where you can find these little animals, because they need a special environment
to live in for example a minimum temperature of 60°F. In addition to that a creek nearby is necessary for
them, so it is also an indicator for a nice habitat. When the time came, we
went out to catch some examples, which was a real experience and fun.
