Abstract
The firefly Pyractomena lucifera (Melsh.) occurs in fresh water marshes throughout the eastern half of temperate North America. Larvae captured prey both above and below the water surface and dragged it above water to feed.
Prey records included:
snails (n = 38) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata),
freshwater limpets (n = 5) (Gastropoda: Ancylidae),
a jumping spider (Salticidae),
