How do they glow, and are there any that don’t glow? How do they help with medical research? What special kinds can we find in our own backyards? The world of fireflies is full of trickery, romance, and awe, so join us as we illuminate the mysteries of these amazing insects! Join firefly expert Sara Rivera with THEM in STEM for a fascinating look at our native fireflies.
