Grootbos Foundation Welcomes New Team Members
Meet the newest members of our team.

Last week’s Under The Microscope entry from the Entomology Team shed light on the fascinating world of fireflies.
These glowing insects may seem magical, but their illuminated antics are more than just for show. Males flash their lights to find mates, while females cleverly respond with their own glow from the ground. But not all signals mean romance - some female fireflies lure unsuspecting males in for a fatal feast, turning a candlelit dinner into a survival story!
Discover more about these dazzling creatures and their incredible light-producing systems. They’re 300% more energy-efficient than our best light bulbs and even use their glow as a defense against predators!
