Are lightning bugs becoming rare?

Summertime as a kid I can remember seeing hundreds of lightning bugs every night. Now it seems like I only see a few here and there. Has anyone else noticed a decline in them over the years?

You see a few, but they are definitely victims of mosquito abatement.
You don't see as many toads or rabbits either.

They have all but become extinct in BR, but when I lived in Nashville a few years ago, they are still everywhere

I don't see many lightning bugs at all anymore...in fact, I saw a couple in my yard one night last summer just stood there and watched them for a while.

Well they sure as hell aren't around like they used to be on the Northshore and by Northshore I mean Folsom.

I can see a couple hundred out my window right now flying around over a lake

I saw them in Robert in the fall every evening at dusk.
Plenty of them.

I have a bunch of them in Covington (a mile from the city center).

I have land in the Ozarks, they're still abundant up there. A delight to watch, can't wait to move up there for good.

We saw quite a few in North Central when we lived there last year.

I've seen a dramatic drop in numbers from when I was a kid. Hell just the past few years. I actually thought about and asked the wife about it last summer.

Thought about the same thing once, but chalked it up to the fact that I am not running around outside in the dark as much as I did as a kid

My yard is full of them. It was a light show last night. But I live in the country and my closest neighbor is 1/2 mile away
