Maybe I'm just old and demented, but I would swear that we would chase fireflies at night in the back yard.....
I haven't seen one in many years.......

We’re a lot better at killing those than mosquitoes apparently

They get killed by mosquito sprayers
I’m ok with people I don’t know dying from West Nile Virus if it means we could get lightning bugs back.

There is pretty good evidence that we are currently in the midst of a mass extinction event in regards to insects.

Saw one about a month ago and was so excited I woke my kids up to come see it. By the time we got outside it was gone.
They are very plentiful up in Tennessee.

We have a yard full each evening since the first of June. We're Getting soaked right now. After the rain, they'll light it up again.

Depends on the state. I noticed states like WV and most of Tennessee they are still plentiful but in North Carolina there are very few compared to 8+ years ago.

Remember the trucks that rolled around your neighborhood spraying for mosquitoes? Turns out that spray didn’t discriminate.

We used to have them on our front porch when I was a kid. Plenty of them. That was before the invention of the mosquito truck.

Fireflies are being decimated due to climate change as their spawning grounds in the ozone layer get depleted.

I saw three or four species last year, and two so far this year. The Common Eastern Firefly is what is out in largest numbers right now.
I haven't sprayed anything other than around my foundation/house in three years now. We have lightning bugs, but still nothing like when we were little.
