This book introduces the insect firefly, which is a type of beetle.

This book, illustrated with color photographs, gives a basic introduction to fireflies. It describes their physical characteristics, their bioluminescence, their life cycle, what they eat, where they live, and their predators.

Additional information is given in sidebars throughout the book. A table of contents is included at the front of the book, and a glossary and an index are included at the back of the book.
