Abstract:

There are forty-one different kinds of fireflies living in North Carolina. In this country they are commonly called lightning bugs and in others they are glow-worms. These little creatures that twinkle through long summer nights are not flies, bugs, or worms at all but are small flying beetles. Lee relates interesting information about fireflies.
