Fireflies are having a moment in Arizona! Given their association with, and reliance on, moist soils and riparian habitats, it's no wonder they are a species of special interest here in our mostly arid state. Join Trica and her guest, Rachel Laura, to hear about Arizona's fireflies and their amazing life histories. You'll also learn about ways you can get involved in the conservation of these amazing, bioluminescent beetles.
