| I haven't seen fireflies since I was a very young girl, and suddenly, in the past few weeks, I am seeing them every night in my neighborhood. I wonder why I hadn't seen them for so long, and why they appear to be making a "resurgence"? I wonder if there are certain "conditions" they need, or what might have changed, that would cause me to suddenly see them. I mentioned it to a neighbor the other day, and she said the same thing... that she hadn't seen them in ages, and was suddenly noticing them. |

| That's funny. I'm on Long Island and this year I've seen many LESS fireflies than usual. I guess they went west! |

| We've seen them every year here in Brooklyn - it does seem that there are more this year. Started seeing them in late June, but they're thick in the air now. I love to watch them rise up out of the grass at dusk. |

yes.. I see them about here in brooklyn also... and a few weeks ago.. they were all aboutthe federal building in manhattan... I thought they might be being used as a counter terrorist measure.. kind of like the drones...
got a buug on my plants yesterday.. so I lifted it off .. and there it was glowing in the sun..from my playing with im... released it to glow tonigght ... I even saw a honey bee this spring... didn't see a one last year... not since the west nile scares spraying..hope they forgo that mass killing this year Gordon |
