What the research confirms
This page answers the search task using the supplied research snapshot. The details below are paraphrased from the evidence points rather than presented as first-hand testing.

- Ancient Firefly is found only in The Ancient Ruins, flying, in all four seasons, any weather, 6AM-2AM.
- Rarity Common, sell price 40 (tesserae), and it is a Museum donation (Y).

- TRANSCRIPT CLAIM: The video does not name or discuss Ancient Firefly (no firefly, ruins, or 6AM-2AM catch info).
