In the larval stage, which comprises most of their lifespan, lightning bugs eat slugs, snails, and earthworms.
As adults, many fireflies don't eat anything at all—they're only adults for a few weeks, so they mostly just procreate and die. However, females from the Photuris group are a notable exception. These "femme fatale" fireflies lure in males from other groups with enticing flashes and then, as the nickname suggests, eat them. Think about that next time you're oohing and ahhing over them in the backyard.

Fireflies are also termed as lightning bugs. Scientists have used firefly enzymes to explain food-borne bacteria. In their larval stage, fireflies are carnivorous. They eat soft-bodied insects like snails, slugs, etc. Adults typically feed on nectar and pollen. However, some adults do not eat at all.
