Whoever would have guessed that Firefly would help me on a vocab quiz?
From www.freerice.com/index.php. Thanks to Shadow Viking for pointing me there.
Not a great pic, but there are at least a million lightning bugs in the woods behind my house tonight. Reminds me of that song :)
With my camera flash off, I was able to capture (kind of) a firefly. It's better viewed at the larger size.

One reason that fireflies glow is to attract a mate. Males and females of the same species will flash signals back and forth as a way of communicating.
This week the Harbath/Mueller family is camping at the campground my family has been going to since my dad was a kid - Firefly Lake. Due to the elections and plane tickets being too expensive I am in DC and incredibly jealous. So I figured I'd post some photos I took back in college with my dad's camera.
Loons are everywhere in the Northwoods and next year I am for sure going to get some good pictures of them. They're great to chase with a canoe. But for now we'll have to settle for this one.
I am thinking that fireflies light up at certain temperatures. When I brought this one into my house, its blinking slowed down and finally stopped. As I brought it outside, the blinking started up again.
