There are some 2,000 species of fireflies, many of them native to the tropics in South America and the Pacific Ocean. They’re all members of the family Lampyridae, which loosely translated means “shining fire.”

DEAR READERS: today we ask you to help the The e.Lib, the host of this site. We survive on small donations averaging about $13 and a yearly grant. Only a tiny portion of our 30,000+ daily readers donate. If everyone reading this right now gave $3, our fundraising would be done within an hour. That's right, the price of a cup of coffee is all we need. We're a very small not-for-profit company with costs of a very large website: bandwidth, servers, and equipment. The The e.Lib is something special. It is like a public library where we can all go to learn and grow. If the The e.Lib is useful to you, please take one minute to keep it online and serving the world. Thank you, everyone! — The e.Librarian. |
