Meet Betva
Betva is a golden firefly.
She lives by the river, among willows and quiet fields.
She does not rush. She does not chase.
This moment. Only this moment.
Her friends live here too. Bruno the rabbit. Mira the heron. Achilles the dog.

Questions
Do fireflies glow different colors? Yes. Firefly light runs from pale yellow to green to soft orange. The colour depends on the species. So colour your firefly any shade you like — nature already does.
Can fireflies light up different colors at once? A single firefly glows in one colour. But a meadow at dusk holds many species. Together they make a field of different lights.
Is a lightning bug the same as a firefly? Yes. Two names, one small beetle.
What age are these coloring pages for? Ages three and up. Young children colour the large shapes. Older children find the small details.
Can I print the page more than once? Yes. Print it for your home, your classroom, your rainy afternoon. Personal use only.
