Are there fire flies where you live?

Or do you call them lightning bugs?

Sadly, no I've not seen any since I've been back living Florida. When I was a child living here, they often lit up the early evening. I found them delightful...almost magical. I call them both, but usually fireflies.

@Piper So they were in Florida years ago, but not anymore? Bummer!

@DrWatson They are still in Florida in certain areas and times of year, I've heard. I'm guessing it's those places, where pesticides are not 'freely' used.

@Piper Ah. Would you say that they have become a victim of the rise in retirements and tourism in Florida?
