Robert Frost's Poem Fireflies in the Garden does an nice job of presenting readers with an idea of the beautiful fireflies can be. In his piece Frost can be seen describing the beauty of the stars at night as well as fireflies, insects that present a similar beauty. Fireflies can be seen representing many things some of which include; light or illumination, warm summer nights, creative thought, etc. Due to the glow of a firefly we can often seen fireflies being used as way to represent light and beauty.
Practical:
Fireflies are incredibly beneficial to humans. Due to the fact that firefly larvae can be seen preying on various species of insect pest, they are great to have around the garden and similar spaces. Another great benefit of fireflies is the fact that they contain luciferin and luciferase, two chemicals used in scientific research on a variety of illnesses including cancer. Some other great thing about fireflies is that they do not bite, sting, carry diseases, and more!
