Photuris pensylvanica, known by the common names Pennsylvania firefly, lightning bug,[3] dot-dash firefly[4] and (in its larval state) glowworm,[5] is a species of firefly from the United States and Canada.[3][5] It is also widely known under the Latin name Photuris pennsylvanica, although the original spelling,[2] with one "n", was common in Latinized names of the time and remains the valid name.
