I have not seen a firefly in decades.

Here, I do not remember seeing so many.

I mean, sitting outside in the late evening is a light spectacular.

I have never seen anything like this previously.

Not Extinct.

Least Concern.

Let's hope it stays that way.

I saw some photos from the NY/VT state line and it was pretty amazing. I mean they used a slow shutter speed so it looked even more impressive but even taking that into account the number of fireflies was beyond anything I remember in at least a decade probably two.

@#7 .... the number of fireflies was beyond anything I remember in at least a decade probably two. ...

Agreed.

It's a nightly, nature-sponsored, light show in my back yard.

The impact from willful ignorance.

Maybe the next caretakers will be smarter?

I doubt it.

They don't make it over the Rockies. It's too cold for them to establish a presence in the West.
