CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do fireflies eat? (Pictures of what fireflies eat)

1. What do fireflies eat?

Larvae: Firefly larvae are carnivorous. Terrestrial fireflies larvae mostly eat smaller snails. Adults: After metamorphosis, most fireflies do not eat or drink, and often only eat dew, honeydew, pollen, and nectar. However, in South America, a few species of fireflies will glow and prey on other fireflies or small phototactic insects.

2. What delicious food do fireflies eat?

Fireflies are carnivorous creatures. In the larval stage, they eat snails, snails, and shellfish. Fireflies can spray a toxin that paralyzes snails. Then, they inject a digestive enzyme into the snail until the snail meat is turned into delicious gravy. However, after they become adults, they only feed on dew or nectar.

3. What do fireflies eat?

Fireflies are small carnivorous beetles that feed on snails.

If a snail encounters any danger, it will retract its head into its hard shell, and many of its natural enemies are helpless against it.

How can a small, weak and clumsy firefly deal with it? There is a pair of jaws on the top of the firefly's head, which are as thin as hair and very sharp.

When a firefly catches a snail, it first taps the snail gently with its jaws. The snail does not take the firefly seriously at all and even thinks that being tapped a few times is very comfortable, like a massage.

The tapping of a firefly is to inject it with a kind of venom.

The snail was paralyzed without realizing it until it lost consciousness.

When the snail is poisoned, the firefly injects another liquid, turning the snail's flesh into a liquid, which it then drinks with its tubular mouth.
