Looking for Fireflies

Conditions were less than ideal last night.

  • Sunday May 30th 2021, 11:00pm
  • Temperature 11°C
  • Relative humidity 48%
  • Wind speed 4.2 km/h (west)
  • SQM 21.37

There were very few flashing, and the ones I found were very lethargic.

I’m still trying to narrow down the species, but I’ll need better pictures. Hopefully it will warm up later in the week, and bring them out in greater numbers. Thanks to Oliver Keller with the help identification.

These are possibly Pyractomena angulata.
