How do you catch fireflies during the day? How many days can you live if you catch a firefly?

It's best to do it at night, and almost nothing during the day.

Generally up to 7 days It prefers to come to a damp dry source.

Clean environment If you want to let it live for a few more days, you can find clean grass Put more grass so that it can turn into it It's best to put some sponges and toilet paper in the grass to store water in order to keep the grass moist Fireflies don't eat mainly to suck dew There is no dew at home You can use pure water and a little honey to replace dew Remember to put it at night Because they all act at night.

Looking specifically at the environment, their requirements for the environment are quite high - humidity, temperature, noise, etc., all have an impact, generally 3-7 days.

Of course, the lifespan of each one is different

Three days at most, because it can live for three days from glowing to death.

The way to raise a firefly when caught is to prepare a container and feed it with bait.

1. Prepare the container.

Firefly breeding equipment can be used wire cages, glass bottles, but pay attention to leave ventilation holes, you can also use transparent plastic boxes, but also pay attention to leave ventilation holes, it is best to use iron yarn as a cover. The bottle can be put some young locust leaves or newly picked young grass, and the bottle mouth is covered with plastic yarn, iron yarn or gauze. It is advisable to maintain a certain humidity in the bottle, and a little water can be sprinkled every day, and some water should be sprayed before providing young grass or locust leaves.

2. Feed the bait.

Fireflies love to eat the body fluids of snails, and every 2 3 days they can catch 1 2 live snails and put them in a feeder for their consumption. If it is a glass bottle or a transparent plastic box feeder, you can observe it eating snails. If 10 25 fireflies are raised in the bottle, only 1 snail is needed each time, and if more than 25 fireflies are raised, 2 snails can be put each time, and it can generally be raised for 15 20 days, and it can live for 1 month if it is well raised.

The habits of fireflies

Fireflies are divided into two categories, terrestrial and aquatic, according to their living environment, with the former accounting for the majority. Terrestrial firefly larvae mostly inhabit places with high shading, lush herbaceous vegetation and high relative humidity, and each insect state of aquatic fireflies has different ecological habitats. The pupal stage is spent next to the water. Adults are divided into plants in open water and near the water, and their eggs are laid on the shore.

Depending on the species, the adults of fireflies have different time of day, day and night, and nocturnal types appear from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Generally speaking, most species start their activities after sunset, and most of them stop at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. Firefly larvae appear at night for about the same time as adults, but they can be active all night.

What do fireflies do at night? Is it in search of food?

Fireflies also change from pupae to insects, and each firefly only has an average life of 5 days, and soon after sunset, fireflies become very active and pursue each other, fireflies come out at night not only to find food, but also to pursue the opposite sex. Male fireflies will emit a shining light, this signal quietly waits for the response of the female firefly, if you do not wait for the response of the female firefly to continue to shine the light, the firefly comes out at night mainly for courtship, the firefly prefers the dark sky, because the survival mode of the firefly is to adapt to this black environment. There are also firefly larvae, which come out at night to hunt and catch snails or snails.

The male and female adults of fireflies use their tails to glow to keep in touch, so during the day, because the light is too strong, they can't see each other at all, so they can only come out at night to move, fireflies come out at night for courtship, because the glow of the fireflies' tails is very low, and they can hardly see each other during the day, so they can only come out at night to move.

Don't catch fireflies because fireflies are not pests and there is no need to catch them.

Firefly (English: firefly) is also known as luminous, sedum, such as glittering, night light, flowing firefly, night candle, bright night, etc., belongs to the Coleoptera firefly family, small beetle, because its tail can fluoresce, so it is called firefly. There are about 2,000 species of insects that can emit light on their tails, and there are several kinds of fireflies such as black fireflies, red fireflies, and window chest fireflies that are more common in China.

To catch fireflies, bring your own flashlight and use an insect trap net.

At night, in summer, females have a habit of being on the surface of the grass (for mating and breeding). After catching the first one, it is packed in a transparent glass bottle and held in the hand to attract other fireflies of the opposite sex. The more worms accumulate in the glass bottle, the easier it is to catch.

Last year, about May and June, I caught a glass bottle in half an hour, haha, it was as bright as a lamp.

Fireflies carry bacteria. Fireflies are beneficial insects. In the recipe of fireflies, there are animals such as flat curly snails and conical snails.

And they are intermediate hosts for some human parasites!

Under certain conditions, these parasites will enter the human body and have a great impact on human health.

Fireflies help us reduce the number of these animals, which is to reduce our chance of contracting parasites!

If you make fireflies some kind of "endangered animals", ......These animals such as flat curly snails and conical snails are bound to multiply!

Because fireflies also have life (which I personally find more disgusting).

Fireflies come out at night for courtship, and generally do not emit light during the day, they generally start to glow for courtship about half an hour after sunset.

Normally, the male firefly emits a specific flash of light during flight through the air, and the female firefly sends a response signal, which allows the male firefly to spot and locate the female firefly. In the male competition of the same species of fireflies, the pressure of natural selection makes the courtship ritual of male fireflies before mating more and more complicated and lasts longer and longer.

Female fireflies do not simply choose the male firefly with the strongest flashlight, but also determine the choice of male fireflies by factors such as male size, movement speed, and mating guard posture.

1.Feeders can be made with wire cages or glass bottles, but care should be taken to leave ventilation holes.

You can also use a transparent plastic box, and you should also pay attention to leaving ventilation holes. It is best to cover it with iron gauze.

2.Fireflies don't fight and don't bite each other. They can be polycultured with a variety of insects.

The bottle can be filled with young locust leaves or freshly picked young grass, and the mouth of the bottle is wrapped with plastic yarn, iron wire or gauze.
