lightning bugs

[Boar Stalker]

We see a lot of them out in Morris County. We love watching them from the porch as they come out of the creek bottoms.

We don't see them here at the house, but the lease is full of them rascals.

Saw more the other night hog hunting then ever before. Looking down the sendero it was like watching a light show with probably over 100 flashes of green light every second or so.

See a handful everynight here in montgomery

[Big pig]

Anybody ever see the little catapillars they come from.
They glow also that's how I found them.

For the time in 10+ years lightning bugs were in full force in North Central Louisiana this weekend. Was cool to see them again.

[TX Outlaw]

Hadn't seen them here in Texas in years but saw them in Colombia when I was there last month .

[panhandlehunter]

I've got tons of them here at my house and property. We've always had a good number of them, but this year, there's a bunch!

[rowdybass]

We've got a few here in oatmeal, I haven't seen them since I was a kid, kinda cool they are coming back for my kids to see.

[okrattler]

Saw them every night all Summer long at my cousins in Missouri as a kid. It's too dry around here. You only see them around lakes,ponds and rivers here.

[Axis FMJ]

My back yard is covered up in them in Austin.

[rut-ro]

Fort bend county has several.

[MikeyG]

They are gone along with the horny toads.

[Razrbk89]

We always have quite a few but this year seems like a bumper crop. Camped out on the river this weekend at deer camp and there were thousands and thousands in the hay meadows. It was kind of otherworldly watching thousands of flashes at once in that hay bottom after getting off the river at dusk.

Where you have lots of spraying, you don't have lots of bugs. Horrible for ecosystems

I'll bet there are just as many as there were years ago. As you get older you don't spend as much time outside during prime hours.
