A major perk of living in NC are the fireflies in summer. Alyssa described fireflies perfectly as nature's glitter. As the sunsets each evening the fireflies start their little romantic light show most often in taller grass. Fireflies make driving through the countryside magical. It is tragically awesome when they splat their eerie green, yellow or orange color on our windshield.
Here are some closeups of the fireflies in our yard.
They are really docile and according to my children really dumb. It is super easy to catch them even after they take off from your hand.
Here's my favorite photo! Fireflies sure are pretty little beetles!
Here's a video just for my dad. He's never seen any fireflies in person.
Hope you like it dad! Love and miss you so much!
The kids love catching fireflies as the evenings start to cool a bit.
We sure are grateful for nature's glitter this summer.
Our kittens have finally discovered fireflies. It's adorable!
(We have four kittens. I am not a pet person at all, but the kids are totally attached. The kittens were born under our home and a post about them is coming later this week.)
