"This work didn’t identify exact causes for the declines, although scientists have been clear that habitat loss, pesticide use and the climate crisis are the main culprits for insect losses, with other problems such as light pollution affecting #fireflies and #moths in particular."

Let it glow: fireflies illuminating Japanese woodlands

For 10 days in the summer, the forests of Japan’s #Yamagata prefecture are lit up by #himebotaru, a type of firefly endemic to the region. Photographer Kazuaki Koseki has attempted to capture the phenomenon in his Summer Faeries series, compiled over a period of eight years. “The spectacle of fireflies flying through the summer forest is like the twinkling of a starry sky.”

This seems like a pretty big deal: "The US government is seeking to consider a firefly species as endangered for the first time, according to a proposal from the US Fish and Wildlife Service."

“In addition to climate change, these fireflies face growing threats from coastal development and light pollution.”
