As someone who works in IT, nothing has ever been a bigger mood than this.

To all of my california friends who can’t miss fireflies because they haven’t ever seen them.

Nope! They don’t really live west of the rockies. The first time I saw them in Ohio, I thought I was hallucinating.

The fireflies were the most fantastic part of my first visit to America. I was with my BF and my roller derby team and we were in one of those yellow schooll buses being taken back from the tournament venue. I spotted some lights in the bushes and pointed it out… then we all lost our minds!!! As it got darker we saw there were SO MANY! Our American hosts couldn’t believe how crazy we were for them… but there is nothing even remotely like this in Scotland, it was like being in a fantasy movie or something. I’ll never forget them.

I love them so much! They come out part-way through my Speculative Fiction Writing Workshop (now taking applications! Pat Cadigan returns as special guest author this year!) each year, and it’s such a joy to introduce these little delights to people from parts of the world where they can’t see them.

PS: In Minnesota, we called them “lightning bugs.”

We had them in Norfolk, Virginia when I was a kid. Same time of year as the junebugs, but those are in the daytime.

As someone who grew up in Norfolk va, i can confirm this is the only good thing about the warmer times. We called them lightning bugs also. Where i lived for some reason i ALWAYS had huge amounts of them in my backyard. Once the sun began to go down my brother and i used to go outside, wait till it was just the right amount of darkness/light ratio, and we would compete to see who could catch the most. After counting the lights in our jar, we’d just let them go and watch… Top outlasting childhood memory
