description Lesser Glowworm Overview

Phosphaenus hemipterus, commonly called the lesser glow-worm, is a small beetle in the firefly family Lampyridae. It occurs in parts of Europe and is unusual because the adult females are wingless while the males have greatly reduced wings and do not fly. Its bioluminescence is comparatively faint, and the species is most likely to be noticed on the ground in shaded habitats rather than through a conspicuous aerial display.
