Interesting blog Andrea

Love this article! As a kid living out in the country with no playmates nearby, I would sit for hours and watch the fireflies. They mesmerized me; even to this day I will sit on my back deck and watch them. Now I actually know something about them! Thank you!

I am so glad you enjoyed the read Kim, I find them such enchanting little creatures and they bring back good childhood memories for me too!

In answer to your question …yes I do see fireflies every spring for just a short weeks… and to me they are a wonderful sight i never tire of watching them …this takes place as i say in the spring on the island of Corfu in Greece, I have lived here for 20 years (from England originally) and look forward every year to seeing the beach area covered in tiny fireflies they never cease to amaze me ..Thankyou

Wow Susan, you live in a very beautiful place. I hope to visit there one day. It must be incredible to see them flying around on the beach!

Cool blog Andz, thanks for sharing this information
