The fields and my yard are full every year. They're green here. We call'em Lightning Bugs. They're a fascinating creature. I know how to attract them and make them go crazy. I have this old laser light that shines pinpoints of green and red laser dots all over the house and I can make them green and it makes the trees look like there's millions of them. The lights move around.
Yeah , there were hundreds of thousands of them in Kentuxky when I was a kid , I noticed there were less of them starting 15 years ago , don't remember seeing them the past few years .
Fireflies need a place to lay eggs etc. If yards are too clean (no piles of leaves etc) there's no place for them to set up shop. Nearly 20 years in this house and it's been roughly same numbers the whole time.
Nothing like being in the country though. One time when I was little we visited some family friends and when we were leaving the father used his hat to swipe fireflies into the car. My little sister and I were delighted but my Dad was pretty pissed lol. There were so many!
