The correct name for them is fire flies (singular fire fly.)\n They come out during hot and humid climate.Can not pin point the months as climates are different in different countries/areas.

There are certain fish, when introduced to a specific location will kill all the natural fish in the that area.  There is also a noxious ivy weed, I belive it is called Kudso, that will take over everything it comes into contact with, it grows extremely fast.  It has been known to take over entire fields, buildings, and towns.  It is almost impossible to eradicate.  I will modify my answer if I can think of the name of fish I am thinking about.  Something else, many years ago Hawaii was overrun with rats (or was it snakes?) so they decideed to bring in mongoose's (or is it mongeese? LOL), the mongoose ate all the rats (snakes?) and now they are no more.  It is illegal to bring a snake to Hawaii, so it was probably snakes.

they are either butterflies\n\n\n\nThis butterfly's common name is an allusion to the polygamy formerly practiced by members of the Mormon religion. Harish Gaonkar, of the Natural History Museum in London, writes that "the origins of giving common English names to organisms, particularly butterflies for tropical species started in India around the mid 19th century ... The naming of Mormons evolved slowly. I think the first to get such a name was the Common Mormon (Papilio polytes), because it had three different females, a fact that could only have been observed in the field, and this they did in India. The name obviously reflected the ... Mormon sect in America, which as we know, practiced polygamy\n\n\nor an insect looking like a cricket\n\nThe Mormon cricket (Anabrus simplex) is a shieldbacked katydid, and not a cricket at all. They are large insects that can grow to almost three inches in length. Mormon crickets live throughout western North America in rangelands dominated by sagebrush and forbs. It is flightless, but capable of traveling up to two kilometers a day in its swarming phase, during which it is a serious agricultural pest

Oh great another question with multiple answers by people who have no fricken’ idea what they are talking about.\n\n>>>>How come there are an abundant found\n>>>> species of snakes in Australia, but no snakes\n>>>>> in Hawaii?\n\nFirst off lets clear up the common misconception that there are no snakes in Hawaii. There are no LAND snakes in Hawaii. There most certainly are sea snakes in Hawaii.\nThere are no LAND snakes in Hawaii because Hawaii has only existed for the blink of an eye in geological time. Because it is so new all the animals and plants in Hawaii have had to arrive there by travelling across the ocean from nearby landmasses. Hawaii is far too far away from the nearest landmass with snakes for land snakes to be able them to swim that distance.  \n\nFor the same reason Hawaii also has no native land reptiles, amphibians or land mammals of any kind.  Several species of reptiles and mammals have hitched rides with people or been deliberately introduced to the islands, but so far no snakes.\n\nIn contrast Australia as old as any landmass on Earth. snakes evolved in or near Australia when it was still part of the supercontinents. \n\n______________________\nGuelph said “During the last ice age, sea levels were low enough that\n>>>>>>> the Indonesian islands formed a virtual landbridge to Australia.\n\nThere was no land bridge, virtual or otherwise. More importantly snakes and their ancestors have been present in Australia since before it split from Gondwana. No land bridge was needed or used.\n\nKari said “Snakes may have been brought into Australia”. This is total rubbish. There are no exotic snakes living in Australia outside of zoos. No snakes have been brought into Australia. They have more than enough of their own.\n\nCeciel who is obviously a graduate of the Simpson’s school of biological control, is clearly planning to release Himalayan Mountain gorillas to Hawaii deal with the mongooses.\n\nKnowlegdeSeeker said " Colubrids, the progenitors of modern >>>>>> snakes started to show up about 36M years ago."\n\nColubrids are NOT the pregenitors of modern snakes. \n\nColubrids are one of the three major types of modern venomous snakes, the other being the elapids and viperids (See link 1 below.)Colubrids are not a very significant part of the Australian snake fauna and restricted mostly to the northern parts of the continent (see links 2 below). For that reason they are indeed believed to be fairly recent immigrants (See link 3 below).\n\nThe first snakes show up in the fossil record some 100 million years ago in South America, when, as the website you posted shows, Australia was still very much part of Gondwana. In fact the best early snake fossils all come from Gondwana (including present day Australia) and snakes were widepread across that supercontinent by the mid cretaceous, well before it broke up (See remaining links for details).\n\nAfter that the record gets patchy. In fact snakes are amongst the worst represented of all the vertebrate groups. But the general consenus amongst palaeontologists is that snakes evolved in Gondwana and radiated from there to the rest of the world. As a group they never moved into Australia unless it was form South America when the two landmasses were still connected. No land bridge required.

The green tree python (Chondrophyton viridis or Morelia viridis) is native to New Guinea, Indonesia and neighbouring countries, whereas the green or emerald boa (Corallus caninus)is like all boas native to the New World and occurs in Amazonia. The green python is not that large for a constrictor (max 1,8 m, about 6 feet), and not all individuals are really green (some are partially yellow, reddish or brown, especially when young). Emerald boas may be longer (up to 2,2 m) and are green with white markings (juveniles also differ in coloration from adults). Even so, as tree-dwelling species both are more slender than other constrictors. The labial pits (heat receptors) of the emerald boa are larger and more visible than those of the green python.\nThese species also differ by other characteristics common to other boas and pythons. Pythons lay eggs, whereas boas are ovoviviparous.

google it..type in scientific insect names. That always helps. OR type in the name of the insect, and all sorts of stuff should pop up

The "angel bug" name is probably a local thing. They could be whiteflies or woolly aphids.\nCheck out some pics:\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/pictures/Sternorrhyncha.html
