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.

Excerpt from A Physical Study of the Firefly Aside from this utilitarian question, there are others of equal importance. For example, we know that closely related species of fire ies emit differently colored light, variously described as blue, green, orange, etc. IS this color variation a subjective phenomenon, resulting from the variation in color sensibility of the eye with variation in intensity, * or is it an Objective reality? If the latter, then what are the laws governing the light emission? It is almost too much to hope to solve this problem in the near future, but it seems possible to settle definitely the question whether or not the light differs in composition and hence is blue, green, or orange, as observed. This knowledge is Obtained from the spectral energy curves of the light from various fire ies, to be described presently. Experimenters have become so accustomed to thinking of the artificial production of light as being accompanied by a large amount of invisible radiation that no experiments would be complete without a repetition of Langley's search for infra-red radiation. Accordingly this question has also been given attention in this paper. In View of the doubt in many investigators' minds as to whether the color of the light from the fire y is due to a variation in intensity rather than to an actual variation in composition, it seemed worth while to attempt to settle the question by making a thorough study of the light emitted by various species of this insect. Accordingly, the photographic work was continued for about four weeks, during which time 152 photographic exposures were made, on two spectrometers differing widely in dispersion, the time of exposure varying from 30 seconds to 5 hours. The time consumed in actual photography, in holding the insects on the spectrometer slit, was over 56 hours. The histological data is introduced for clearness in discussing the present work, as well as its bearing upon the whole subject. It permits also a discussion of the plausibility of the functions assigned to certain parts of the photogenic organs as viewed from a physical standpoint and more especially from the optical properties of materials.
