EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the enchanting Candle Fly, a remarkable insect native to the tropical paradise of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, captured in a photograph dating back to 1901. The Candle Fly, with its elongated, slender body and delicate wings, is a true marvel of the natural world. Its name derives from the bioluminescent larvae, which emit a soft, ethereal glow, resembling the flickering flame of a candle. The Candle Fly's habitat is primarily found in damp, shady areas, often near water sources. The adult flies are attracted to the light emitted by their larvae, which help them locate their offspring. The larvae, which are not depicted in this photograph, live in a unique symbiotic relationship with fungi, feeding on the fungal growth and providing the fungi with nutrients in return. The discovery of the bioluminescence in the Candle Fly larvae was a fascinating find for scientists, as it is relatively rare in the insect world. The phenomenon is believed to serve as a defense mechanism, helping the larvae to evade predators in their dark, damp environments. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the natural wonders of Ceylon and the intriguing world of the Candle Fly. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the delicate balance of ecosystems and the unique creatures that inhabit them.
