Firefly by Nicole O. When the female firefly flashes her light the male firefly answers by flashing his light. A firefly has a flat, oblong body and most have light organs on the underside of the abdomen. Not only do the adults glow, young ones and even the eggs give off light. Fireflies' eggs light up the night. Light glows brightly on the larva. Even the pupa of the insect shines. The firefly is often called a lightning bug. Next Insect Back to the Bookshelf

Biodiversity Degradation in Illinois Stoneflies by Donald W.

True Flies (Diptera) Definition. Although many insects are termed "flies," only those having one pair of wings belong to the insect Order Diptera. Flies are also characterized by having a pair of balancing organs, called halteres, located just back of the base of the wings. Halteres are used for balancing in flight. There are a few flies, mostly parasites or inhabiting islands or alpine areas, that have no wings at all. Immatures. The active immature stages of flies are called maggots ...
