Even as an adult, I'm ticked when I catch glimpses of them from my back porch. I grin and grin. I've already got an inkling of an idea for this challenge. Fun!CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533782912333386427.post-62048651696082812242017-06-06T11:55:53.054-07:002017-06-06T11:55:53.054-07:00I grew up in Northeastern Ohio, where "lightn...I grew up in Northeastern Ohio, where "lightning bugs," as we called them, were a summertime constant! I loved them! We kids would go out at twilight and stay out for as long as our moms would let us, playing and watching and catching the little creatures. They would land on your hands and arms for a spell and flash off and on and then take off again (they had romantic business to attend to, after all!). I captured them in jars sometimes but always let them go...it didn't seem right to keep them. They were too cool out flying around. :)<br /><br />Thank you so much for the wonderful memory, Erin. Fireflies are the sweetest little beetles around.Meridy https://www.blogger.com/profile/18042307922654346843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533782912333386427.post-30183089860067996762017-06-05T14:14:20.488-07:002017-06-05T14:14:20.488-07:00I'd love to see them - none here in Britain th...I'd love to see them - none here in Britain that I know of.

My friends and I each thought we were seeing things after a long day on the bikes. It wasn't until one of us said "did you see that?!" that we realized what they were. Pretty cool!Leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495074024911199300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533782912333386427.post-9239200512646207792017-06-04T07:16:00.680-07:002017-06-04T07:16:00.680-07:00oh that is so cool!

My girls have loved to catch them in jars ... they are actually slow moving and easy to catch (poor things!)AntiquityTravelershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448273777508831649noreply@blogger.com
