Where do you find the golden fly in breath of fire 2?
You should find him flying around in the basement of SimaFort. To get there, talk to one of the girls in the main garden-like area, who is looking for her boyfriend. Go up to the rooftop (go through the throne room, and through Jean's room. There's an obvious secret area in there) to find a frog drying up there. Then go talk to the girl frog again and tell her where he is. In return, the boyfriend will give you something. It doesn't matter which answer you say, since I'm quite sure you get both anyway. You can use the moving buckets to get down to the basement.

Insects (Insecta) is the scientific class to which lightning bugs (Lampyridae famiy) belong.
A lightning bug or firefly has two antennae; a body that is divided into three segments as head, thorax and abdomen; three sets of jointed legs; compound eyes; and a skeleton on the outside of the body. These are what characterize insects. Within the insect group, a firefly or lightning bug is described as a beetle. It has two pairs of wings. The lower wings underneath are lighter and used for flying. The upper wings above are harder and used for protection.

Are there blond lightning bugs?
Yes, they are a rare mutation but I have seen them. I saw them in the area of Juneau County, WI. I believe them to be a blond color due to a lack of pigmentation from albinism. My daughter brought this bug to me and it looked exactly like any lightning bug and had the typical flashing lights after dark except the eyes were a pinkish tone and the rest of the body was a pale moth-like color. We put it in a jar for a little while to observe it, but later returned this beauty to where we found it. I believe it to be so rare due to the fact that like all albinos it only happens in a few genetic mutations. (Consider how rare albinism is in humans, etc.) M. Bliss

They die because they don't have access to air or spacious areas. They also cannot eat, and since they have to eat multiple times every hour, they die of starvation and oxygen deprivation. Hope that helped.
"Leuchtkäfer" is a German equivalent of "firefly" (Lampyridae family).
As an insect, the firefly goes through stages as an egg, a larva, a pupa and a winged, flying adult. It may be considered an attractive insect in terms of the glow generated by its distinct green, red or yellow light. But it may not be considered at all attractive by the rest of nature. Specifically, its defenses include chemicals that are distasteful and even poisonous to other wildlife.
