PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a management method for a firefly biotope in which an escape place enabling firefly larvae to escape from the light of the lighting is provided on the bottom of a waterway, and thereby light restriction measures can be avoided in the period when the firefly larvae grow in the waterway, consequently a problem on the crime prevention due to restriction of a light through four seasons or the problem of difficulty to obtain understanding of local residents when performing traffic regulation through the four seasons can be improved.SOLUTION: A management method is provided for a firefly biotope 1 that has a waterway 3 to make firefly larvae 10 grow in a place lighted up by outdoor illumination at night. The management method is characterized in that an escape place enabling the firefly larvae to escape from the light of the lighting is provided on the bottom of the waterway 3, light restriction measures for restricting the light of the lighting are not performed in the period when the firefly larvae 10 grow in the waterway 3, and the light restriction measures are conducted in the period from when the firefly larvae 10 come out from the waterway to pupate till when firefly imagines are active.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
