Researchers have discovered a new species of firefly in Singapore’s last remaining freshwater swamp forest. It’s the first time since 1909 that anyone has discovered a new species of luminous firefly in the city-state. The research on the newly identified Singapore firefly ( Luciola singapura) appears in the journal “When we first encountered this species, we knew it was interesting because the specimens were collected from a freshwater swamp forest in the central catchment area of Singapore fireflies are rarely reported from this type of habitat. Furthermore, it did not fit the descriptions of any known firefly species to date,” says lead author Wan Faridah Akmal Jusoh, a research fellow at the National University of Singapore Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (LKCNHM).
