There is a lot of science behind the magic of fireflies. Learn how and why lightning bugs light up, about the different species of fireflies, and how these beetles can be identified by their flash patterns. These brilliant insects can also help us learn more about a wide array of environmental issues, including: Climate Change; Habitat Loss; Light Pollution; and Pollinator Protection. You’ll also hear about Firefly Watch, a nationwide community science project run by Mass Audubon.  Led by Tia Pinney, a Biologist, Lead Naturalist, and educator at Mass Audubon’s Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in Lincoln. Since 1994, when she first started working at the farm, Tia has overseen efforts to maintain New England’s wildlife on the 206-acre property, managing staff and volunteers in planting projects and citizen science.
