Firefly Beacon

Attract firefly insects to your phone or tablet

Firefly Beacon is designed to attract firefly insects to your phone or tablet. Your screen will flash in the particular sequence of a selected species. The pattern can be previewed on a timeline before entering full screen mode.

There are currently 11 species of Photinus fireflies supported. The patterns used by this application were deciphered from the research of Sara Lewis, PhD and Christopher Cratsley, PhD: http://ase.tufts.edu/biology/labs/lewis/publications/documents/2008Lewis_Cratsley.pdf

Firefly Beacon is free to use and open source.
