Used to catch them growing up. There would be thousands of them periodically blinking in the yard and across the field every night. It was pretty and serene.

I saw one just the other night when I let my dogs out before going to bed. It was so surprising that I had to wait a minute and verify I wasn't just seeing things. It was a real life lightning bug. It was a happy sad moment.

I can't remember when I last saw fireflies. They used to be quite common 25 years ago when I was a kid. Damn, time flies and I'm getting old. And fire apparently doesn't fly any more.
