An informative, entertaining, and beautifully illustrated look at the beloved firefly For centuries, the beauty of fireflies has evoked wonder and delight. Yet for most of us, fireflies remain shrouded in mystery: How do fireflies make their light? What are they saying with their flashing? And what do fireflies look for in a mate? In Silent Sparks, noted biologist and firefly expert Sara Lewis dives into the fascinating world of fireflies and reveals the most up-to-date discoveries about these beloved insects. From the meadows of New England and the hills of the Great Smoky Mountains, to the rivers of Japan and mangrove forests of Malaysia, this beautifully illustrated and accessible book uncovers the remarkable, dramatic stories of birth, courtship, romance, sex, deceit, poison, and death among fireflies. The nearly two thousand species of fireflies worldwide have evolved in different ways—and while most mate through the aerial language of blinking lights, not all do. Lewis introduces us to fireflies that don't light up at all, relying on wind-borne perfumes to find mates, and we encounter glow-worm fireflies, whose plump, wingless females never fly. We go behind the scenes to meet inquisitive scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding fireflies, and we learn about various modern threats including light pollution and habitat destruction. In the last section of the book, Lewis provides a field guide for North American fireflies, enabling us to identify them in our own backyards and neighborhoods. This concise, handy guide includes distinguishing features, habits, and range maps for the most commonly encountered fireflies, as well as a gear list. A passionate exploration of one of the world's most charismatic and admired insects, Silent Sparks will inspire us to reconnect with the natural world.

If you are interested in learning more about fireflies, you're in luck. There are many facts about this fascinating insect. Read on to discover the fascinating family and fascinating facts about fireflies. Thousands of species are found worldwide, and many of these insects are known as lightning bugs or fireflies. The family consists of soft-bodied beetles, and many species emit light, so they're often called fireflies, lightning bugs, or simply fireflies. Regardless of their names, all of these insects produce light in conspicuous ways, primarily during twilight. The luminous glow of fireflies is a form of attraction and communication, and many species produce light to attract mates. Approximately 2,000 species of fireflies live in warm, humid climates. Their larvae feed on insects, worms, snails, and other invertebrates. Many firefly species spend their entire lives on trees. Their abdomens are filled with special organs, or cells, which allow them to light up, and attract mates. Fireflies also live in a wide variety of habitats, from moist areas to drier ones. The firefly's ability to produce light was evolved by the same evolutionary process that gave us nocturnal nightlight. This ability not only helps protect them from predators, but it also helps them find mates. However, not all fireflies produce light; some species are day-flying and rely on pheromone odors to locate mates. The bioluminescence of fireflies is a very fascinating aspect of this fascinating insect.

At midnight, in a secret medical clinic in Washington, D.C., two foreign doctors and their team are completing plastic surgery on an anonymous client who is changing the appearance of his face, among other things. After the procedure, the client begins to stir-and suddenly the operating room erupts in violence and the clinic is ablaze. Washington police conduct an arson investigation, with inconclusive results. But one tantalizing fragment of evidence suggests that a terrorist bombing may be imminent. The presidential inauguration is quickly approaching and Washington's police, fire, intelligence, military, federal, and White House security teams are making frantic preparations. Because of the strain on manpower, retired Secret Service agent Swamp Morgan is recalled to active duty. His task: investigate the incineration of the medical clinic as a "firefly"- Washington-speak for something that looks like a threat but isn't. As Swamp begins what he thinks is a routine check-and-dismiss, the clinic's missing client begins preparations for his mission: to launch an attack on the American government - a decapitation strike intended to wipe out both the outgoing and incoming administrations. As the crucial day approaches, Swamp, the only agent to take the firefly seriously, must operate alone as the clock clicks down to a breathtaking finale. Filled with brilliant twists and turns and heart-in-your throat suspense, Firefly offers first class entertainment from beginning to end.
