Fireflies are fun to see on a warm summer night, but not all is twinkles and flight in their worlds as we think it is. Fireflies have their own language of love and while some use it for good … others have disturbing motives. Firefly femme fatales lure unsuspecting males of other species to their deaths. The females of one group of fireflies, called Photuris, literally nicknamed femme fatales, mimic the flash patterns of other firefly species to lure unsuspecting males in closer. Thus duped, a male will serve as the main entrée for her dinner. Preying on the males of other species allows Photuris females to acquire their toxins, called lucibufagins, which the females then deposit into their eggs as a chemical defense. Sounds like an episode from Criminal Minds. #lightningbugs #fireflies #firefly #lightning #lightningcableiphone #lightningbug #bugs #macro #nature #lightningreturns #lightningstrikes #art #lightningstrike #lightningbolt #lightningcable #lightnings #lightningfarron #ligh...
