Title: Fireflies !
Post by: buzz on June 29, 2011, 09:49:01 PM
(or lightning bugs, whichever you prefer)
I just emptied trash and noticed I've got some in my yard.  Cool.  I enjoy seeing them, they're a "good bug".

I have so many here.  In the yard and in tupperware!

Does anyone know if there is any way to attract them?  Kinda like there is a plant called the 'butterfly plant,' since it's supposed to attract them?

I love them; makes me think of being a kid again.  I lived on a dead end street and all of us kids on the block would hang out under the street light at the end of the block on nice summer nights & catch fireflies...

Where I live, we have no alleys, so no lights.  The yard is so full of them that it really looks nice.  The neighborhood kids just run all over catching them.  I just keep letting them out of the Tupperware when the kids aren't looking.
