Atlas Obscura has published the article on Orfelia fultoni, aka "Foxfire Fly" aka "Glowworm" aka "Dismalites". Great read about an interview with Dr. Lynn Faust about them, who encouraged them to contact me about the work I'm doing studying their use of caves. Apparently my cave-use aspects did not get mentioned but that's alright; they did legitimately support my work using two of my photos, including the primary photo for the article shown in the preview below. It was nice working with them and it's an article well worth the five minute read!

This is a leaf beetle of some sort. In particular it's the type that's eating the holes in the jewel weed in Central Park.
