Why we’re seeing more fireflies light up Quebec skies – and how to find them

Fireflies are becoming more common in Quebec due to favorable weather conditions, such as wet and warm environments that support their development. Climate change may also play a role by extending their active season. To find fireflies, it's best to seek out humid areas like wetlands or forests during warm summer nights. These insects are indicators of healthy ecosystems, as they thrive in clean, unpolluted environments. Protecting their habitats is important for their conservation.
