Thanks to Arduino Bootstrapper, Glow Worm Luciferin firmware starts an access point for easy configuration via a mobile phone. Then I’ll lead you through a step-by-step sketching demonstration where we will draw a pretty firefly together.ĬLICK HERE to download your firefly sketching cheat sheet that you can use to follow along to the sketching demonstration in the video.Luciferin supports MQTT and can be controlled via a smartphone or via a PC remotely using a generic MQTT client. Watch the replay of my live online workshop where you’ll learn how and why fireflies produce their light and other fascinating aspects of their biology.

Fireflyers International Network (conservation website) The Dark Side to the Firefly’s Flare (NPR story) Silent Sparks, The Wondrous World of Fireflies(Book) by Sara Lewis The eerie glow of blue ghost fireflies (Science Friday story) Fireflies worldwide are at risk of extinction, and humans are to blame (article) Why the lights are going out for fireflies (article) How and why do fireflies light up? (article) The loves and lies of fireflies (TED talk) Some fireflies are threatened with extinction and many others are declining worldwide due to human activities.Fireflies can protect themselves from predators by spontaneously releasing both noxious odors and a sticky blood at will, bathing the hapless beast in a smelly bloodbath!.Each firefly has a courtship display that is unique to its species.They were once harvested by the millions for the chemical substance responsible for their ability to glow.Revered for thousands of years in many cultures, fireflies have played a prominent role in folklore and art.A few other families of beetles can glow besides fireflies, as can some fungus gnats as well as a variety of marine sea creatures.All species of fireflies have a larval stage that glows, but not all adults are capable of the same feat.As their name suggests, fireflies are distinguished by having a light-producing organ called a lantern which produces their characteristic bioluminescent glow and which, unique in all the animal kingdom, they can control like a light switch.Firefly ancestors go back as far as 150 million years, sharing the planet with the dinosaurs.Fireflies aren’t flies and lightning bugs aren’t bugs all belong to one family of bioluminescent beetles.So, let’s dive in! Fast and Fun Facts About Fireflies In their honor, I’ll share interesting facts about their biology, habitats, lifecycles, and of course, how and why fireflies glow! Lastly, I’ll share my step-by-step demonstration of how to sketch a firefly. World Firefly Day is celebrated on the 4th of July to spotlight nature’s original firework displays!
