Pyropyga minuta, or flower elf,[2] is a species of day-active firefly in the beetle family Lampyridae.

Like the other fireflies in the Pyropyga genus, P. minuta does not have working lanterns on its abdomen.

[2] Beetles such as P. minuta go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

Although the adults don't have lanterns and therefore do not flash, the larvae of P. minuta are bioluminescent, like all fireflies.

[2] P. minuta is a non-flashing firefly, active during the day rather than at night, and they are seen most often in June and July, although they have been found as early as April and as late as September.
