It's firefly time in Bellingen

* "In the early evening, flashing lights can often be seen cruising around in the forest. These are the little lanterns on the underside of the abdomen of a carnivorous beetle of the family lampyridae. These beetles have been misnamed fireflies. It is believed that the flashing light is used by males and females to attract each other." >>

* Tidy gardens and landscape maintenance equipment unleash a blitzkrieg on the little fairies of the soil. The ubiquitous lawn mowers "mowing the grass" like a military strategy, so no soil micro-diversity shall survive. Line trimmers, debris blowers, chainsaws, bobcats, bulldozers and a dash of chemicals complete the terraforming.

* Fireflies under threat from habitat loss, pesticides and light pollution

"The Indian myna
was released in Victoria in the 1860s to eat insects but has become one of the highest-ranking pests on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List."

"It competes with native birds and wildlife, damages crops, can spread avian malaria and cause dermatitis, allergies and asthma in humans."

"There are calls for more councils to offer bounties, or for the state or federal governments to implement a coordinated management program. Grassy lawns and leftover pet food sustain Indian myna populations."
