The fireflies in Kuala Selangor are a species called \"Pteroptyx tener,\" which are unique to the region. These fireflies have a synchronized flashing pattern, creating a stunning light show along the banks of the Selangor River. The light emitted by the fireflies is believed to be a form of communication and mating display.
Visitors can experience the beauty of the fireflies up close by taking a boat tour along the river. The boats are equipped with electric motors to avoid disturbing the fireflies with noise or pollution. The tour takes place after sunset, as this is when the fireflies are most active and their lights are most visible.
