Expert: Fireflies Commercial Flying Activities

Not romantic

The reporter consulted the information and found that in recent years, similar firefly release activities have been held in many places across the country. Similar activities in Shanghai, Chengdu, Nanjing, Changzhou, Ningbo and other places have been criticized for environmental protection disputes, and most of them have been canceled. Yangzi Evening News Zi Niu Journalist contacted Fu Xinhua, a PhD in China who studied fireflies and a professor at Huazhong Agricultural University. Professor Fu said that he and his team have always opposed the commercial release of fireflies.

Professor Fu said that the survival of fireflies has high environmental requirements. Fireflies are required to ensure that the overall environment is suitable for the survival of fireflies, and the other is to meet the requirements of fireflies on the food chain. The larvae of fireflies are carnivores. They are eaten with various snails, snails, and horse land. Studies have shown that it is very difficult to build fireflies population in different places. The cost of artificially breeding fluorescent fires is higher, and some merchants will hire farmers to capture fireflies in the field. In addition, there are many types of fireflies. Fireflies flying in different places may be different from local fireflies. Foreign fireflies are likely to squeeze local fireflies, which affects the local ecology.

"So the fireflies flying activity is not 'romantic', and behind the romance is a selfishness. If you want to see more fireflies, you have to do sustainable protection. A protection. "Fu Xinhua said.
