— Iranian firefly larvae, Lampyris turkestanicus collected from north of Iran and their luciferin were analyzed by HPLC, TLC, MS and spectroscopic Fourier transform ([FT]‐IR, FT‐NMR, UV and fluorescence) methods. The results showed that luciferin in L. turkestanicus lanterns was the same as in the American firefly, Photinus pyralis and synthetic D‐luciferin.
