萤火虫通过攻击性拟态的捕食行为仅在杂色石楠属的雌性中已知(怀疑该属的另一组中的萤火虫，即P.同源及其近缘，作为成虫是捕食者)。在10个物种中观察到了攻击性的拟态，间接证据表明，这种捕食可能发生在杂色宾夕法尼亚种群的所有物种中，尽管可能有特殊的例外。可能大多数物种捕食2个或2个以上物种：杂色光肩星天牛至少捕食11只。一些蝴蝶的雄性和幼虫。也可能是咄咄逼人的模仿，但证据只是提示性的。
Predation by aggressive mimicry in fireflies is known only in females of the Photuris pennsylvanica-versicolor group (it is doubtful that fireflies in the other group of the genus, i.e., P. congener and relatives, are predators as adults). Aggressive mimicry has been observed in 10 spp., and circumstantial evidence suggests that such predation probably occurs in all species of the pennsylvanica-versicolor group, though there could be idiosyncratic exceptions. Probably most species prey on 2 or more species: P. versicolor preys on at least 11. Males and larvae of some Photuris spp. may also be aggressive mimics, but evidence is only suggestive.
