Firefly

Subjects > ... > Countries?Create > Malaysia

Malaysian fireflies are really 6mm long beetles, which belong to the Lampyridae species. They produce a cool yellowish-greenish glow in the lower abdomen. Both male and female fireflies are able to flash, but only the males flash in unison; the synchronized display serves to attract a mate. Incidentally, the fireflies are called "kelip-kelip" in the Malay language. The word means "twinkle".

These fireflies live on a mangrove species known as the Beremban tree (Sonneratia Caseolaris).

The firefly insect is mentioned in the article Malaysia's Fire Fly Farm With Beautiful Fireflies .

Pennsylvania's state insect is the firefly.

• Insect: The Firefly, officially called the Poturis Pennsylvanica De Geer.
