The International Firefly Symposium, held every three years, brings together a diverse global community including researchers, students, conservationists, naturalists, educators, artists, and others passionate about firefly research and conservation. The 2025 IFS seeks to open a space to share and exchange updated knowledge on the ecology, behavior, morphology, and cultural effects of fireflies, while fostering collaborative partnerships. We will also discuss new methodologies and strategies to protect threatened firefly species and their habitats. Our main goal is to raise awareness and appreciation of fireflies across cultures by blending artistic and scientific perspectives on these amazing insects.
Mexico is a hotspot for fireflies: almost 300 species have been recorded to date! In the country, a big community of researchers from various universities, alongside members of civil society, as well as ejidatarios, comuneros, and owners of firefly sighting centers, are actively engaged in the study of these wonderful insects. Together, we strive to uncover new insights about these enchanting creatures while seeking to harmonize tourism with conservation efforts. Our mission is to widely disseminate knowledge among the population through various means.
