In the summer from April to August, the weather is mostly sunny, suitable for watching insects. The forest corner in Bong hamlet, located 20 km from the park’s gate, is a spot to view and take pictures of fireflies. (Photo: Vnexpress.net)
Established in 1962 and located 120 km south of Hanoi, Cuc Phuong Park covers 22,408 hectares of the Tam Diep mountain range, which spans over territory of three provinces of Ninh Binh, Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa. Cuc Phuong is an ideal eco-tourism destination thanks to its natural landscape and biodiversity. (Photo: Vnexpress.net)

Fireflies are soft-bodied insects. They have a pair of hardened wing cases like other beetles. They can glow yellow-green light due to a special chemical reaction in their abdomens. Fireflies light up to lure prey and more importantly, to attract partners during the mating season. (Photo: Vnexpress.net)

Currently, the use of pesticides and rapid urbanization have led to a sharp decrease in the number of fireflies in Vietnam. (Photo: Vnexpress.net)
