Seeking speaker for community event #928552

Asked April 16, 2026, 7:44 AM EDT

Good morning, I am looking for a speaker who can discuss lightning bugs (fireflies) at a community event we are organizing to emphasize the important role these insects play in our ecosystem. Do you have any suggestions?

Montgomery County Maryland

Expert Response

Thank you for reaching out to us and your interest in a talk about supporting fireflies!

We would recommend reaching out to the Montgomery County Master Gardener program, if you haven't already. They have a Speakers Bureau where you can request talks. You could check with them to see if they would be willing to provide a firefly talk. You can find their speaker's bureau page here: https://sites.google.com/umd.edu/montgomerycountymg/home/about-us/speakers-bureau.
