I didn't find a topic on these beetles. And Vel is a whole family...
So I decided to create it.
I start the topic with the most famous firefly beetle.
"Ivan's worm" or Ordinary firefly
Lampyris noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767) (pair)
(Lampyrinae → Lampyrini → Lampyris)
The male was collected on 23.06.2015. Here: Russia, Moscow region, Balashikha district, okr. der. Fedurnovo, a swampy meadow in the floodplain of the Chernaya River, exposed to UV light (en masse). leg. Feoktistov V. I.
Female brood.
Larva collected on 02.05.2002, Russia, Moscow region, Balashikha district, okr. der. Poltevo, mixed forest, in last year's leaf litter.
