I don't know what's happening in the rest of the country but here in north Georgia it's a good year for fireflies. There is an amazing amount of them this year. I actually thought there were some Christmas lights on display at an office building nearby.

It turns out that these are actually beetles. And yes - the light they produce is meant to attract the female of the species. For some reason the females want to mate with the males whose light is the brightest and lasts the longest. Insert your own joke here.

Is everyone else seeing as many lightning bugs in their area as we are?
