They wouldn't be called "fireflies" if they didn't fly, and they don't hibernate. They're insects so they propagate by laying eggs, leaving only one choice.

5K: pronunciation sounds German. My German-speaking sister would not be able to go to Vegas as + 1. Know its not Spanish. Hebrew for cat I long ago looked up as "hatool"; would Arabic be similar? 50/50

20K: I'd have asked +1; I hope they'd have lured me away from "hibernate". How are they fireflies with no flash/fire? Yeah, genetically they're close, but in my book no fire = no firefly.
