Back in 2019, Russian photographer Daniel Kordan had the chance to go to Kyushu, Japan, during the beetle mating season. Kordan did not miss the opportunity to photograph the thousands of fireflies that lit up the thick vegetation in the island, and the results are these dazzling photos of trails of light emitted by the tiny beetles (yes, fireflies belong to the beetle order).
