They were out by the thousands up here in MS by the Fair River on memerial day weekend. It was a really cool effect because they looked like they were pulsating to the beat of the music.

Tried to catch it on iPhone camera but it didn't work. Shitty iPhone camera is shitty.

If you have never seen it before, come up to Tremont in the Smokey Mtns to see them, they are synchronized. Drop some shrooms first though...

They need rotting wood, not grass.




How to promote fireflies is your yard

quote:

Don't over-mow your lawn. Fireflies mainly stay on the ground during the day, and frequent mowing may disturb local firefly populations. While you may feel that you need to keep your lawn mowed for aesthetic purposes, consider incorporating some areas of long grasses into your landscaping. Fireflies prefer to live in long grasses, and doing this may boost their population in your yard


quote:

Let logs and litter accumulate. Some species of firefly larvae grow up in rotten logs and the litter that accumulates beneath the forest canopy. To encourage their growth, plant some trees on your property. If you have trees in your yard, consider leaving some natural litter around them to give firefly larvae a place to grow.
