In this July 21, 2016 photo, rules to protect the firefly habitat and mating process are posted inside Piedra Canteada, near Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala state, Mexico. Among the list of banned activities are the use of camera flash or flashlights, smoking, making noise, or lighting campfires. To avoid interfering with the fireflies mating process, in which they communicate through their light patterns, power in the camp is shut off for two hours during the peak nighttime appearance of the fireflies, and cars are prohibited from entering or exiting. Certified guides lead groups of silent tourists along dark forest paths to get the best view of the fireflies. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)
