Lamprohiza splendidula
Fireflies are beetles of the family Lampyridae. Males and females are very different, while the male is obviously a beetle with elytra very dark black or brown, female seems like larvae with only rudimentary wings. At dusk the female shows bright spots which has in the last segments of his body and used to attract the male, hovering circular plate showing its ventral light.
this one it's a female

thanks!
was very difficult to take pictures to the firefly light, with flash does not see the firefly light, and without flash you couldn't see anything
Cool spotting and nice series!
Me encanta maravillosas fotos!
