It has been a while since I delved into entemology so I don't have much in the way of references to confirm the larvae I see and the beetle better known as 'Fireflies' so it is a rather unsubstantiated yes.
I see Fireflies on the wing early in Summer among the pond foliage, creeks and trees here and what I assume is their wingless larvae glimmering on the ground among the grass late Summer
The larval stage seem to like the less than often cut grass beneath large trees where the heat of the day is less brutal, once in a while I stop and have a good peak at them after dark when I see them in numbers, just to figure out if it is Firefox, or Fireflies
