The Xerces Society and Center for Biological Diversity are taking a stand for a rare firefly species facing extinction

With staff across the U.S., we offer events at a variety of locations and on a range of topics, including monarch monitoring, creating pollinator habitat in agricultural and urban environments, and more. We'd love to have you!

40% of the world's insect species may go extinct over the next few decades. This problem is real, the impacts of decline will be devastating, and the time to act is now. Please donate today to support invertebrate conservation.

We have submitted a joint petition for the emergency listing of the Bethany Beach firefly (Photuris bethaniensis) with a request for the concurrent designation of critical habitat under the federal Endangered Species Act.
