During the larvae stage they feed by either hunting prey or feeding off of decomposing bodies. Others prefer to consume something living for dinner. They will often attack earthworms, ants, snails, shellfish and many other arthropods.
I would say maybe a cat or a cicadia.
2nd poster: I am not sure about the whole cicadia answer, as I haven't looked up what they eat. However, one predator that eats fireflies is ...other fireflies. Yes, they eat each other in some circumstances a female from one species of firefly will mimic the blinking pattern of the other species. The males who are looking for a mate that is the same species flies to the female looking for love in all the wrong places. The female then eats the male for all his trouble. Animals that eat fireflies would be bats, mice, birds, fish, fox, toads, frogs, and even a cat. Cats are eating an insect because they enjoy the chase. It is a hunting instinct of a tame house cat indulging in play. Fox eat many insects, berries, plants. They don't choose large prey like chickens unless man destroys their habitat forcing them to eat the easiest prey. Fox love MICE, and moles.
Fireflies serve an important role in the food chain. They are food for smaller creatures that are in turn food for larger animals. Fireflies get ate by a mouse, the mouse gets ate by the snake, the snake gets ate by the fox, the fox is ate by a wolf, the wolf gets driven to extinction by man. man--wolf< fox< snakes & mice< insects< pollinate plants.
The man shoots the wolf into near extinction. Fox get out of control eat chickens due to lack of berries & plants, and mice that man destroys for Golf courses, so man shoots fox into near extinction. Mouse population gets out of control, so man poisons mouse. Fox eats poisoned mouse dies. Insects get out of control, so man sprays poison to kill insects. Insects start to disappear, like bees, so plants don't get pollinated and weeds don't get ate to help mans food grow. Poor people starve to death because of lack of money for food. The wealthy take over the world, build golf courses instead of paying poor to grow food. God pours out his wrath, so man is almost completely wiped off the planet. God brings the meek back to live on earth for eternity. Causes plants to grow without mans intervention, animals and people live on plants. PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TOWARD ALL MEN!!! Amen.
