About Firefly.org
Firefly.org is a non-profit project created by Ben Pfeiffer of Rank Smart to raise awareness to the decline of firefly populations in Texas, the US and worldwide. This site is intended to help educate those interested in how to bring back fireflies to their area. These beetles are one of natures most beautiful and mysterious creations and it's unforunate that we are seeing less and less of them where we live. Thank you for visiting this site and be sure to read about our section about how your can help firelies return in your area.
