Fireflies / Lightning bugs | Glühwürmchen (Lampyridae)
Male Firefly (Lamprohiza splendidula). The male begins to fly and glow at nightfall. Their ventral luminous organs send the light downwards and thus stimulate the females to shine in return. If a male spotted a female in this way, it flies down vertically to the female. Mating and oviposition take place on the ground. Both partners die just a few days after mating and laying eggs., Göhrde, Germany. | Männlicher Kleiner Leuchtkäfer, Glühwürmchen (Lamprohiza splendidula). Die männlichen Leuchtkäfer beginnen mit einbruch der Dunkelheit zu leuchten und stimmulieren damit die flügellosen Weibchen im Gras es ebenso zu tun. So finden sich die Geschlechtspartner zur Paarung. Göhrde, Deutschland
