Upon further investigation, it appears that only SOME species of fireflies are at risk of extinction. Others are so common they are of "least concern".

If foreign propaganda bots are bombarding us with doomer memes to instill apathy and depression in the younger generation, this fits.

Maybe, but I haven't seen one in decades in our area. Used to see them every summer. I've thought about that for a while, even before this.

Same here, but if I drive a few miles out of the city, they're out and about.
