Yes, you can try to keep fireflies [Lampyridaefamily] inside. But chances are strong that they won't do well or survive. Lightning bugs are very social nocturnal insects. That means that they spend their nights flying around after prey or with others of their own kind.
As beetles, the outer set of a firefly's wings is heavier and for balance. So lightning bugs aren't fast. But flying is important to their lifestyle and to their general well-being.
Additionally, fireflies need soil for laying anywhere from 500-1,000 eggs at a time. The eggs hatch in about four weeks. The resulting larvae spend the summer eating and the winter living in underground tunnels until the soil temperatures tell them that it's spring.
So fireflies have important requirements to be met in order for their lives to be happy and successful inside. They need space to fly around in. They need soil for egg laying and overwintering. They need shelters such as grassy plantsto hide in during the day. They need others of their kind to communicate and mate with. They need nght-time schedules. This is what they're used to, and how they're happy, in the wild.
Fireflies are winged beetles that are a family of insects in the beetle order called Coleoptera. The best thing to keep fireflies in is a clear jar with a lid that has holes on top.
Give it freedom as they do not live long inside a jar.
You give them lice, spiders or a part of an apple...
Fireflies create their light - by means of a chemical reaction taking place inside their bodies.
No, a firefly is not an arachnid, it is an insect. There is different kinds of fireflies, like Black fireflies, Eastern fireflies, Photuris species fireflies, etc.
Fireflies function due to their chemicals contained inside them, these chemicals work similar to the ones found in glow sticks and luminous paint. These chemicals react when the firefly is in darkness causing a bright light.
