There are around 2,000 known firefly species, primarily found in the warm, humid environments of Asia and the Americas. Adult fireflies mostly consume plant-based food like nectar and pollen. However, their larvae—which look like small, wingless worms—are carnivorous and feed on creatures such as snails, worms, and small insects.
