    Firefly
    
    The Lampyridae are a family of elateroid beetles with more than 2,000 described species, many of which are light-emitting. They are soft-bodied beetles commonly called fireflies, lightning bugs, or glowworms for their conspicuous production of light, mainly during twilight, to attract mates. Light production in the Lampyridae is thought to have originated as a warning signal that the larvae were distasteful. This ability to create light was then co-opted as a mating signal and, in a further development, adult female fireflies of the genus Photuris mimic the flash pattern of the Photinus beetle in order to trap their males as prey. Fireflies are found in temperate and tropical climates. Many live in marshes or in wet, wooded areas where their larvae have abundant sources of food. While all known fireflies glow as larvae, only some species produce light in their adult stage, and the location of the light organ varies among species and between sexes of the same species.

  @ruud Good tip. I’ve tried this before but use it so seldom that having a specific app for it seemed overkill. A reverse image search online (#TinEye or #Pinterest) usually does the trick. I was just lazy today and asked Mastodon. 😅

  I use the 'Seek' app for that. It can recognize animals and plants from photo or camera. https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app
