To thrive fireflies need a green space with low light pollution and no insecticides. Fireflies can't compete with brightly lit urban areas. And there is a noticeable decline in firefly populations due to overuse of broad-spectrum insecticides.
I like the relaxing random flashes of our species of fireflies but there are some species that gather in swarms and synchronize their flashing. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/QCWkzQqO7Ro?t=2m29s
