Show me where they reside so that I may slay them.

They've been back in Missouri most of the spring and summer.

With the help of some fireflies

I can see them under the pines"

Where area are you in?

The only redeeming quality of driving through Illinois is a stretch of highway that they’ve allowed native plants grow which brings in millions of lightning bugs. It’s pretty damn sweet at night.

One flew into my windshield the other night. I reprimanded my driver for not practicing evasive maneuvers. Protect our friends.

Be careful they have females mimicking females of another species.... and it's no bueno.

I call them fireflies and I will die on this hill!
Except for Louie. Louie was a lightning bug.

We get them around my house in early summer every year. Usually they are gone by this time of year but still remain. Maybe they are liking all the unusual rain we have been having? Location: Shreveport.

Fire ants seem way down this year, IDK why (maybe the late freeze?), but it has coincided with a lightning bug revival. Got them all over my property this year in CenTex. I suspect fire ants kill them like almost everything else that is ground-dwelling.

What's your location? I noticed a Shreveport friend commenting about how they had not seen lightning bugs in a long time and they now have them back.
In central Texas I have had them in my backyard for the past 5 or so summers. I had them again earlier this spring but do not have any right now. I wonder is something happened to push them East and that's why Louisiana friends are seeing them this year.
The past few summers friends from La have visited me and were amazed to see lightning bugs again.
