Lightning Bugs

[MamaNutty]

Ok... Either I'm crazy or I'm going senile.
But I swear I just saw a lightning bug outside.
I have lived in Florida for a long time & this is the 1st I have seen them.
When I lived up
North they were everywhere!!
Any other Floridians ever see them??

I seriously thought somebody had a laser pointing in my yard lol!!
It was only 1 I saw.

 

[kayyroseee]

I saw a whole bunch but that was yearrrs ago, lol. I thought I was seeing things but the people with me saw them too! Had to be real, haha

 

[MamaNutty]

I'm going to have to read up on these little buggers now. Thought maybe it was a love bug gone mad haha!

 

[OswaldLucky]

I can honestly say, I've never seen one.

Oh my gosh! lol. Now that is exactly how I will refer to them.

I have lived in Florida many of years & this is a first! But was only 1 of them.

I'm up north, and I had one in my house yesterday,
yet I haven't seen fireflies in my yard in years!

I never saw any here! They must be pretty when they light up at night though, or so I heard. Just nasty gnats flying into my face and into other people on campus and mosquitos rather I think the same freaking mosquito that's been biting me and buzzing in my ear for days. I named him Robert, hopefully he has moved on from me now that he has driven me insane and already gotten what he wanted Yeah screw you Robert, screw you fly away RIP

I'm in the northeast and I see them all the time during the summer! I guess I take them for granted as I assumed everyone sees these magnificent creatures at night!

Same here... during this time of year there are hundreds out in the front and backyard. I still like to run around and catch them :P

 

[Sleepysaur]

I live in the north and I see hundreds at night -- they're all over the place. They get in my house and when we turn the lights off we can find them but then their light goes out so we run around trying to find them all night XD
I accidentally stepped on one in the shower this morning though. poor guy.

 

[Captain-Heather]

I remember visiting DC a few years back and freaking out when I saw some because I have never seen them before, haha.

I see them every night (North-Mid section of Georgia near Altanta).

They're really friendly here.. They never bite or anything and they don't seem to mind being touched actually. I think they're really pretty
