- Mega congregation of the insects and their synchronised bioluminescence is observed during summer every year in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu.
- The researchers recorded the flashing patterns of fireflies (whether ascending or descending) in individual trees and the timing of flashing events.
- They analysed their synchronisation phenomenon.
- They also observed mating behaviours such as rapid pulsations and the duration of flashing sequences.
- Three species of fireflies — Asymmetrica humeralis, Abscondita genus (species unknown) and Curtos sp — were identified from the ATR.
