Any southern state April through September October at times at dusk til 1hr pass sunset
Moved away from city and Insee them in my yard now. Haven't seen these things in like 21 years. Happy to see they still exist.
Yeah a couple years ago I'd go out on warm nights "not hot" and they'd be almost touching me as I'd slowly walk and smoking a cigarette or something similar that made me happy.
Eastern states, wet areas, and warm. That is for the proper fireflies, you might be able to find some "Lightning Bugs" in other areas to scratch the itch.
Was visiting my cousin in countryland Indiana over the 4th, was quite a display of fireflies in the fields.
I've seen many since spring, and all summer long, in the southern ozarks.
Late summer, prolly.
Do so miss fireflies! Used to see them while visiting relatives back in Kentucky. Here in California, there are bunches of them, but the phosphates aren’t there in their food that makes them light; which sucks nuts most bogusly.
Gnarly! Like, market some firefly chow that makes them light, already!
(Thanks for listening to my firefly catharsis.)
Right now. Most the east coast, heck even down into South America has them…
You want a grassy area near a natural area (long grass/bushes). Fireflies like the edge between the two. They are most active shortly after sunset.
I remember they're usually out in late summer in my area since it's usually warm and a bit humid out. With the weather though if they hatch and we get a cold snap they could die the same day or week before breeding so this might be the end of them or at least in the areas of northern half of the US at least since the south would likely remain above 50 or 60F so they'd just sleep or hide in warm soil or even home areas like garages till it warmed enough to forage and mate then die off like normal.
I just wanna see Bigfoot
