Photinus indictus
Silent Firefly
Photinus indictus, commonly known as the silent firefly, is a diurnal firefly species in the beetle family Lampyridae. Adults are active during daylight hours and lack the bioluminescent lanterns characteristic of most fireflies, earning both its common name and specific epithet (Latin for "unspoken"). The species is found in eastern North America, particularly the Great Lakes region. Adults communicate through airborne pheromones rather than light signals.
