Firefly disappearance concerning scientists

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — When did you last see a firefly?

Experts are becoming increasingly concerned about their disappearance in the U.S. and other countries.

Firefly Conservation and Research says it’s unclear why they’re vanishing, but scientists have two theories.

They say fireflies thrive in marshes, fields, and forests.

Environmentalists believe the development of forested and waterfront areas could destroy their habitat.

Another factor could be light pollution, as fireflies rely on their glow to communicate at night.

Experts say fireflies could eventually vanish altogether if the current trend continues.
