RMRDKFR3–. The Cambridge natural history. Zoology. MALACODERJIIDAE FIRE-FLIES GLOW-WORMS 249 (^Luciola) of Southern Europe are an example of the latter con- dition. They are gregarious, and on calm, warm nights crowds of them may be seen moving and sparkling in a charm- ing manner. These individuals are all, or nearly all, males; so rare indeed is the female that few entomologists have even noticed it.
