I used to live out in the country near a nature preserve and can confirm it looks like this.

Now I’m forced to live in the burbs and get excited when I see a single firefly.

stop mowing your lawn and stop raking leaves, and the fireflies ought to come back

I didn’t rake my leaves and now have two, but my neighbors all mow their lawns and get rid of leaves

There used to be at least some fireflies every year where I lived in Brooklyn when I was a kid but now there aren't.
