Sungai Lebam Wetlands (river)



SUNGAI LEBAM WETLANDS

One of the famous attractions in Sungai Lebam Wetland Preservation area is watching the beautiful and sparkling fireflies at night. These fireflies are purely harmless and it looks just like blinking lights especially at night. So travel to Sungai Lebam, Johor now and enjoy the magical experience of fireflies!

Fireflies, or lightning bugs, are one of the main attractions in the Sungai Lebam Wetland Preservation area by catching sight of the synchronized blinking lights. Fireflies emit light at their lower abdomen to attract mates and also scare away predators. They are harmless, but visitors should refrain from catching any as this would pose a threat to its fragile population.

Fireflies often congregate at a vast mangrove swamp, especially at the Berembang trees. One should keep silent and avoid flash photography so as not to scare them away. There are fewer fireflies around on rainy nights and when the moon is full. The best time to watch fireflies is one to four hours after sunset. To get the most out of your trip, do plan your journey in advance.
