Firefly Species Lost for 43 Years Rediscovered in the US
Original: A Firefly Lost for 43 Years Is Back—and It’s Far From the Only One Missing More than two dozen firefly species in the U.
Scientists have rediscovered a firefly species that had not been seen for 43 years, a rare piece of good news for insect conservation. However, the rediscovery highlights a broader problem: more than two dozen firefly species in the United States and Canada have not been observed in at least a decade, raising concerns about habitat loss, light pollution and declining insect populations across North America.
Why now: The rediscovery of a long-lost firefly is striking news that also draws attention to how many North American firefly species may be quietly disappearing.
