Tokyo-Science Service)-A I firefly breeding farm is the next project of a Japanese high school science club which already has successfully raised 100,000 fireflies. This unique program of ar tificial hatching and culture of fireflies has grown out of full-scale research projects carried on by the Biology Club of Togane Commercial High School, Chiba Prefecture. , Each year thousands of fireflies are collected and sold in gauze-covered cages for use .as garden lanterns. The fire fly is also important agricul turally since the larvae de-i vour field and garden pests. As the first step in its in vestigation, the club collected data on the firefly population and the reasons for its deple tion by sending questionnaires to 2,600 students in other high schools. In the course of its study, the group learned that fire flies generate light even in the larval stage, that there are observable differences in the light emitted by male and female fireflies, and that in termittent light from flash light attracts a congregation of the insects. The young scientists' dis covery that fireflies, would nest In an inverted flowerpot, and that pond snails and tooI lusks made a very suitable diet, resulted in the extensive breeding program. The biology club was given the Prime Minister's Award when the project was exhibit ed at the Fourth Japan Stu dent Science Awards program held recently in Tokyo.
