Donating to the museum
As with all insects in the Animal Crossing series, the Firefly can be donated to the museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.
In Wild World
"I've heard tales of children unable to buy candles... Yes, these unfortunate souls are said to have studied by firefly light! Ugh. The mere thought of having a bug that close... Blech! So very vile... I'd rather read in darkness!"
The Firefly can be found hovering over the pond in the first room of the Insect exhibit.
In City Folk
"Many theories exist as to why fireflies can glow, but we've yet to find a clear answer, eh wot? The answer is not nearly so relevant as the fact they are bugs, and therefore wretched."
It can be found hovering over the small pond to the bottom-left in the bottom terrace, occasionally.
In New Leaf
After being donated to the museum, the Firefly can be found periodically hovering over a small pond in the first room of the insect exhibit. The exhibit says the following:
"Both male and female fireflies are capable of producing light from their lower abdomens. This light isn't the same as the light from a lightbulb, though, and isn't hot when you touch it. Fireflies can actually glow when in the egg and larval stages, but that light is comparatively weaker."
In New Horizons
"The firefly isn't a fly at all! It is a beetle, you see--and one known for its ghastly glowing backside. This light is called "bioluminescence" and it is caused by...by...a chemical reaction in the rump. Males flash about in the night sky to attract females, while their larvae turn on the glow to put off predators. Speaking of their yucky young, firefly larvae love to dine on snails! Hoo Ewwww!"
After being donated, fireflies can be found hovering above the pond that surrounds the "quiet bench" area in the main bug exhibit.
