As an example of Daxueshan's natural variety, look at the fireflies: of 63 species of firefly found in Taiwan, almost 30 can be seen in Daxueshan. Even Luciola hydrophila, a rare endemic firefly species that requires excellent water quality, can be found here.
以螢火蟲為例，台灣 63 種螢火蟲，大雪山社區有近 30 種，連對水質要求甚高、數量稀少的台灣特有種黃胸黑翅螢，也在這裡現蹤跡。
