"Lightning Bug Lane."

I didn't see many lightning bugs this year ... but how i do love them.

See it my better at my website, plus all the products it's available on: https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/featured/lightning-bug-lane-lois-bryan.html

I hand painted it in #CorelPainter from a photo I took up at one of the country roads leading to #blueknoballseasonsresort ... then played around quite a bit! It's #NotAi.

I miss seeing bunches - hundreds! - of #LightningBugs flying around on summer nights.... If you're old enough, you remember scenes like this one. Nowadays, you're lucky to see one or two. Sad. 😢

#Fireflies in #ParcLaFontaine behind the Théâtre de Verdure. So beautiful!

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪲✨ #Fireflies are actually bioluminescent #beetles, not #flies.

Entomologist Clyde Sorenson from #NorthCarolina State University explains that #larvae glow to warn #predators of their #toxic taste, while #adults use species-specific flash patterns as a #mating ritual, with some predatory “femme fatale” fireflies mimicking other species’ signals to lure and eat males.

Guys! There are so many bats and fireflies out tonight. I’m tempted to find my tripod this weekend and do some long exposures. I bet the photos would be epic.

We had a *very* early firefly several weeks ago, but only an occasion firefly every few nights since then, often not seeing any for several nights in a row. I was beginning to worry that the population had crashed.

Last night the fireflies came back. Still not the masses we usually see, but in significant numbers. Hopefully that will continue for the next four or five weeks.

This time of year, after turning the lights off, I always take a last look out the window.
Last night I spotted what I was looking for: Fireflies 😊.

Two days from the longest day, and an samhradh — the summer — leans its golden weight against the door.

The fireflies are up over the red clay. That green stutter low in the grass that means the year has tipped. https://twp.ai/4hrX8l

Tha an dùthaich a' cumail a h-anail — the land is holding its breath — waiting, the way the South waits in late June, for the storm that decides everything.
