"Vuurvliege" is a Dutch equivalent of "firefly" (Lampyridae family).

The firefly tends to prefer a marshy environment or a moist, wooded habitat. The reason lies in the insect's appetite in its larval stage as a glow worm. Glow worms prey upon snails, slugs and other larvae.

The adult insect in the flying stage may not need to eat. During its short life, the flying adult may live off the food reserves that the larval stage builds up internally. Otherwise, the flying adult may find nourishment in plant pollen or nectar and in water or plant dew.
