Fireflies

Does anyone know which insect spawner spawns the less common fireflies? Around the time my sim mastered alchemy, another spawner appeared on her lot, in addition to the two alchemy spawners she'd had since she got her alchemy work station. This one says "Beetle Spawner - Lightning Bugs (5)" Since I grew up calling fireflies both lightning bugs and fireflies, I assumed it spawned fireflies. But the only insect it has ever spawned is light beetles.

My sim has made every elixir except the genie one, because I have never been able to find the blue and purple fireflies, only the red and green ones. No matter when I look, with the collection helper, I never find any except the yellow and green ones, anywhere. I'm wondering if something is not working as it should be. She's had the alchemy insect spawner on her lot ever since she got her alchemy station, but I've never seen any fireflies from it, either.
