Photuris (genus)

	Photuris (genus) ''Photuris'' is a genus of firefly, fireflies (beetles of the family (biology), family Lampyridae). These are the ''femme fatale'' lightning bugs of North America. This common name refers to a behavior of the adult females of these predatory beetles; they engage in aggressive mimicry, imitating the light signals of other firefly species' females to attract, kill, and eat the males. Their flashing bioluminescent signals seem to have evolved independently and eventually adaptation, adapted to those of their prey, mainly unrelated Lampyrinae, such as ''Photinus (beetle), Photinus'' (rover fireflies) or ''Pyractomena''. Species At least 64 species are currently recognized, all restricted to temperate North America. They mainly occur from the East Coast to Texas.

	Photuris Pensylvanica ''Photuris pensylvanica'', known by the common names Pennsylvania firefly, lightning bug, dot-dash firefly and (in its larval state) glowworm, is a species of firefly from the United States and Canada. It is also widely known under the Latin name ''Photuris pennsylvanica'', although the original spelling, with one "n", was common in Latinized names of the time and remains the valid name. Description ''P. pensylvanica'' is a somewhat flattened beetle to in length. Its primary color is black, but it has two bright red eyespots on its thorax, as well as yellow edging on its thorax and wing cases and usually a lengthwise yellow stripe partway down the center of each of the latter. The species is carnivorous, feeding mostly on insects but also on other invertebrates, such as land snails and earthworms. The terminal segments of its abdomen are white-yellow and glow greenish-yellow when the insect Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class ...

	Photuris Mysticalampas ''Photuris mysticalampas'', also called the mysterious lantern firefly, is an endangered synchronous-flashing firefly species described in 2013. Distribution It is found in Delaware (in the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge) and also the border between Delaware and Maryland (within a radius from the Nanticoke Wildlife Area and also within the area itself), two states within the United States, and it has not been spotted outside of the Delmarva Peninsula. It was once more widespread across Delaware, but it is now restricted to the south of the state. ''P. mysticalampas'' is found in inland wetland environments. Conservation The biggest threats causing it to become endangered are pollution, climate change and severe weather changes. According to observations by Heckscher (2020), deep peat Peat (), also known as turf (), is an accumulation of partially Decomposition, decayed vegetation or organic matter.
