evidently, firefly larvae feed off slugs.

any particular species of firefly? there are thousands of
species worldwide.
i'm trying to figure out how to increase the local (NH)
firefly population. the biggest issue here seems to be light
pollution, & that's hard to fix when the light comes from off
my property.
my property in NY has thousands of fireflies on a summer
night, almost as many as i remember seeing as a kid. the back
wasn't mowed this summer. it was grazed by deer (there was a
doe with twin fawns yarded by the creek) & there were a *lot*
of slugs. maybe that's why there were so many fireflies?
