I wish my area still had fireflies. I remember they were around here when I was a kid. Now they are not.
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Haven't seen a firefly since I was a kid 
I like to gently catch em. They're so slow and clumsy, how have they not all been eaten??
you mean it's the time of year when you watch Joss Whedon's short-lived cult-classic space western series Fireflyâ„¢?
I visited AmeriKKKKa once and the fireflies was the best, most amazing thing I saw there.
Oh yeah! They're really popping off this year too.
you would not believe your eyes
Lucky! 
I have managed to never see one.
my adjacent woods was cut and paved over i haven't seen any since
I'm really sorry 😞 you should have this magic.
I've seen more of them around my back yard this year, and I'm wondering if something in the garden is attracting more of them. I've seen a bunch of them sheltering on a newly grown yucca plant during the day, at least.
I've seen more of them than usual this year, too. I haven't planted anything different, but I got guineas last year to help with our ground-nesting hornet problem, so maybe there are less predators for them in my yard this year?
