    Sisk Firefly

    The firefly goes through complete metamorphosis with four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs are laid in the fall, larvae spend winter underground and emerge in the spring to pupate for 10 days before emerging as adult fireflies that live for a few weeks in the summer. Fireflies communicate with each other through flashing and are valued by gardeners as both the larvae and adults prey on snails, slugs, and earthworms that damage crops.
