As a kid and even just a few years ago I remember lightening bugs being yellow, almost orange, for sure 2700k or less maybe even 2000k.

I remember this from just last year.

This year they are back. But they are fucking White. Like 5000k to 6000k White, like new headlights.

Anyone else notice this?

They were definitely yellow/greenish when I was a kid. I remember I stepped on one once and the goo was on my shoe.

Now they're much dimmer and white and I kt flash instead of dim up and down. Has to be a new species.

New species of lightening bug? What sorcery is this?

Maybe not new, but different. The big yellow ones straight up vanished and there was nothing for awhile till these little flashers came around.
