This summer, MetroParks is diving into fireflies ✨

Nature in a Blink: Fireflies is coming up in just two weeks, and to get ready, we thought we'd share a few fun facts about these iconic insects. The fireflies in this video were filmed at Timberman Ridge MetroPark—now let's talk fireflies!

Did you know fireflies are actually beetles? It's true! Fireflies belong to the beetle family Lampyridae and are among the most recognizable signs of summer in Ohio.

Here's another surprising fact: some fireflies eat other fireflies. Female Photuris fireflies can mimic the flash patterns of other species to attract unsuspecting males—and then make them a meal.

Want to learn more? Join us for Nature in a Blink: Fireflies on June 27 at Meadow Ridge MetroPark- more details in the comments below. And keep an eye out for a blog post later this week about how we can help support firefly populations in our own backyards.
