摘要：Against the backdrop of advancing ecological civilization and increasing public interest in reconnecting with nature, this study examines fireflies-iconic insects cherished for their natural charm-as valuable landscape resources. This study was conducted in Dalingshan Forest Park, Dongguan (Pearl River Delta), using the Forest Science Trail as a sampling site. Surveys combining line transect and point count methods were employed to analyze firefly species composition, adult activity patterns, and flight characteristics. Key findings include: (1) Four species were identified-Asymmetricata circumdata, Pygoluciola qingyu, Aquatica analis, and Luciola satoi-three of which were observed along the trail; (2) Adults appeared sporadically after 19:00, with peak activity occurring between 19:30 and 20:00, showing minor interspecific variation; (3) Although flight height varied slightly among species, most activities concentrated within 0-1.5 m, corresponding to herbaceous and shrub layers; (4) Distinct flight patterns were observed: A. circumdata displayed prolonged intermittent flights, while P. qingyu and L. satoi exhibited shorter perching-based flights. These results provide a scientific basis for firefly habitat conservation, biodiversity promotion, and the sustainable integration of firefly landscapes into nature education and ecotourism.
