💨 Abstract

" The article actually discusses fireflies, not mass transit. It highlights the increase in firefly sightings this summer in the U.S. Northeast due to a wet spring. Fireflies, with over 2,000 species globally, use their bioluminescent flashes to communicate. However, their populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticides, and light pollution. Experts urge turning off lights at night and avoiding insecticides to help preserve firefly populations.
