The Importance of Fireflies in Ecosystems

Abstract

Fireflies, also known as lightning bugs, are small insects that are often associated with warm summer nights and their mesmerizing light displays. However, these insects serve a much greater purpose in ecosystems around the world. Despite their size, fireflies play an important role in various aspects of ecological systems, including pollination, pest control, and medical research. This research paper aims to explore the importance of fireflies in ecosystems and the potential impacts of their decline.
