    Background. Fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) are commonly recognized by adult
    traits, such as a soft exoskeleton, lanterns and associated glow and flash patterns, but
    their larval stage is far less appreciated. However, fireflies spend most of their lives
    as larvae, and adults of most species rely solely on resources previously obtained.
    Therefore, studying the immature stages is imperative towards a comprehensive
    understanding of fireflies. This paper reviews and indicates key gaps in the biology
    of firefly larvae based on available literature.
    Methodology. We reviewed the literature on firefly larvae to identify key issues and
    important taxonomic, geographic, and subject biases and gaps.
    Results. We found 376 papers that included information on firefly larvae. Only 139
    species in 47 genera across eight of eleven lampyrid subfamilies have been studied during
    larval stages. These numbers reveal a staggering gap, since 94% of species and over half
    of the genera of fireflies were never studied in a crucial stage of their life cycle. Most
    studies on firefly larvae focus on two subfamilies (Luciolinae and Lampyrinae) in four
    zoogeographic regions (Sino-Japanese, Oriental, Nearctic, and Palearctic), whereas the
    other subfamilies and regions remain largely unstudied. These studies mainly dealt
    with morphology and behavior, other subjects remaining greatly understudied by
    comparison, including habitats, life cycle, physiology and interactions.
    Conclusions. Together, these literature biases and gaps highlight how little is known
    about firefly larvae, and warmly invite basic and applied research, in the field and in the
    lab, to overcome these limitations and improve our understanding of firefly biology to
    better preserve them.

    This is just the abstract portion of the last study I found and saved, anger me again and you get the whole thing.

    The color and birthday stuff will go away tomorrow around 9 AM (EDT?) tomorrow tho; decided to give you some extra time since it took forever for the add-on developer to give me download access after I purchased it.
