Aggressive Mimicry in Photuris: Firefly Femmes Fatales.

J E Lloyd.   

Abstract

Firefly females of the genus Photuris, long known to be carnivorous, attract and devour males of the genus Photinus by mimicking the flash-responses of Photinus females. Although suspected, this behavior had not been observed previously.
