Beloved CALS Professor Clyde Sorenson is shedding some light on what could be a new species of firefly. 🪰💡
For over two decades Clyde has taught ENT 201, an introductory lecture course on insects, to what he estimates to be more than 8,000 students. As a resident insect expert, it’s no surprise that he spends his late spring evenings out searching for fireflies.
Clyde has been been hunting for what he believes to be an unidentified species of firefly – and has found examples of it in Wake, Chatham and Johnston counties. The unnamed species creates a blue-green light, similar to the blue ghost firefly commonly found in the North Carolina mountains, but carries key differences.
“There’s great power in a name. If you know what something is, it’s a whole lot easier to care about it,” he says.
