My son and I caught a couple of firefly the other night. What I first thought was mating, turned out to be devouring. The firefly doing the eating is a Photuris and the one being eaten is a Photinus. Apparently the female Photuris uses her signal to attrach a male Photinus and then eat him. Even the grubs or larve do the same thing. And yes, my narration is boring, but I did it on the fly, so to speak.
