Iryanju Firefly Ecological Leisure Farm Introduction

Yiranju is the most well-planned firefly ecological exhibition hall in Taiwan. The hall is primarily divided into two types of display areas: the Day Hall and the Night Hall. The main focus of the Day Hall is to help visitors initially understand the types and characteristics of fireflies through picture displays and textual explanations. It also showcases various live fireflies, introducing the growth process from the egg stage, larvae stage, pupae stage, to the adult stage. The Night Hall, nicknamed the Wonderful Glow Area, allows the public to understand the different light-emitting behaviors of fireflies in terrestrial and aquatic environments through special exhibition methods, providing a more accurate understanding of fireflies. Fireflies, also known as Lightning Bugs or Fire Beetles, are insects that emit light. Generally, the period from March to June each year is when the most species of fireflies appear. Based on the environment in which the larvae grow, they can be classified as aquatic fireflies, semi-aquatic fireflies, and terrestrial fireflies. The body structure of fireflies is generally divided into the head, thorax, and abdomen. They emit light due to the presence of a bioluminescent gland containing luciferin, which emits light through oxidation. The light of fireflies is cold light, usually emitted for warning and courtship purposes, which often brings us many surprises. To give visitors a deeper ecological feeling, in addition to the firefly ecological conservation hall, the farm environment is also meticulously planned, especially with the planting of various types and colors of flowers, such as lavender, petunias, salvia, blue angelonia, and purple cloud flowers, creating a vibrant scene. While having fun, visitors can also enjoy aromatic coffee or herbal teas made from plants like lemon balm, lemon grass, rosemary, and stevia, making for a leisurely afternoon tea time.
