Captured Firefly drops from 
Bogflare Needlers in Zangarmarsh.
Notes
The drop rate of this pet is roughly 0.1% (one in every thousand kills) and takes an incredible amount of patience and determination in order to get one. Due to the difficulty of obtaining one, and thus their rarity, they can sell for fairly large amounts of gold on the Auction House, at least as far as pets are concerned.
| Kills | Chance |
|---|---|
| 100 | 10% |
| 200 | 18% |
| 300 | 26% |
| 400 | 33% |
| 500 | 39% |
| 600 | 45% |
| 700 | 50% |
| 800 | 55% |
| 900 | 59% |
| 1,000 | 63% |
| 1,200 | 70% |
| 1,400 | 75% |
| 1,600 | 80% |
| 1,800 | 83% |
| 2,000 | 86% |
| 2,200 | 89% |
| 2,400 | 91% |
| 2,600 | 93% |
| 2,800 | 94% |
| 3,000 | 95% |
The chance of getting at least one — at a 0.1% drop rate — is shown to the right.
Trivia
A reference to Joss Whedon's series Firefly. The spaceship in the series is of the Firefly model, and after a terrible day, the Captain of the ship observes "We're still flying".
K. Lee Smallfry <Master Engineering Trainer>,[68, 50] also in Zangarmarsh, is another reference.
The model used in WoW for fireflies is a wasp model not a firefly.
