We developed a new method to record firefly flashes in 3D, which has the potential to provide new insights into firefly behavior and help conserve threatened species. If you've seen fireflies around your neighborhood, we'll send you a kit containing two cameras, tripods, and a hard drive. Just place the cameras one meter apart as close to the fireflies as you can get and press record! We'll process the recording and extract the firefly flashes.
