Beautiful firefly in the night

     Remember watching fireflies light up your yard on hot summer nights? Fireflies are beautiful, mysterious, and magical-and for many of us, catching and spotting them is an important part of summer. 


    But firefly Populations is dwindling all over the country-and all over the world. But in bae shi leisure farm if you come at March to July, you can find a lot of fireflies at here. That is because the maintenance of this farm is combined with "green, health, and drug-free" concept.




     Lightning bugs, also called fireflies, get their name because they create light through a chemical reaction in their abdomens. This process is called bioluminescence. Breathing in oxygen triggers the flashes of light. The more oxygen breathed in, the brighter the light.




     You may think these flashy showoffs are calling to you, "Catch me if you can, “when actually they are not interested in you at all! Sometimes lighting up is a firefly's way of signaling for help. But usually lightning bugs are flashing their lights to attract a mate. The female waits in bushes, weeds, or on the ground and flashes her signal. The males fly around looking for the females. When they spot the flashing of a female, they respond with their own flashing to get her attention. So keep in mind that when you are observing the lights of these beetles on a humid, warm summer evening, you may really be intruding on their love wooing!
