Summer is in full swing, which means firefly season is officially upon us. While these brilliant bugs are lighting up the night all around New York, we want to share a few fast facts about the insects that are such an indelible sign of the season.
- Despite their name, fireflies aren’t flies at all, but a type of beetle.
- There are more than 2,000 known species of fireflies worldwide, but those you’ll see in Theodore Roosevelt Park and around New York are likely Photinus pyralis, one of eastern North America’s most common firefly species.
