i have never lived in a place where fireflies lived, until i moved to Virginia... last summer we were in a pretty urban area, and i got all excited to see the odd one here or there, but here in the wilds of the new home... we have SERIOUS fireflies!!
my husband calls them lightning bugs...
there's something quite magical about them... little green glows, popping up here and there, flashing on for a moment and then off again, like morse code.
i wonder what they're telling each other... is it like the bee dance, indicating the good gathering grounds?
i was just out taking the dog for his last stroll of the day, and as i walked down our road there were a cluster of trees that were lit up like they were strung with the daintiest of blinking Christmas lights.

ReplyDeleteFireflies, butterflies and ladybugs: The only insects that I love, and of course, the only ones that don't freak me out entirely. :)
