You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
I found a little faery living among my water lilies, her name is Cricket. She glows in the dark and I am completely in love with her!
She is a Charles Creature Cabinet Firefly Faery Fidelia.

The Lampyridae are a family of insects in the beetle order Coleoptera with more than 2,000 described species. They are soft-bodied beetles that are commonly called fireflies, glowworms, or lightning bugs for their conspicuous use of bioluminescence during twilight to attract mates or prey. Fireflies produce a "cold light", with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically produced light from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale red, with wavelengths from 510 to 670 nanometers. Some species such as the dimly glowing "blue ghost" of the Eastern U.S. may seem to emit blueish-white light from a distance and in low light conditions, but their glow is bright green when observed up close. Their perceived blue tint may be due to the Purkinje effect.
Fireflies are found in temperate and tropical climates. Many are found in marshes or in wet, wooded areas where their larvae have abundant sources of food. Some species are called "glowworms" in Eurasia and elsewhere. While all known fireflies glow as larvae, only some adults produce light, and the location of the light organ varies among species and between sexes of the same species. The form of the insect that emits light varies from species to species (for example, in the glow worm found in the UK, Lampyris noctiluca, it is the female that is most easily noticed. ). In the Americas, "glow worm" also refers to the closely related family Phengodidae. In New Zealand and Australia the term "glow worm" is in use for the luminescent larvae of the fungus gnat Arachnocampa. In some species of firefly, the females are flightless.

"You can't take the sky from me."
Built this wee microscale (About 1:1000) ship for fun some months back, mainly because of the new (new to me anyway) cupcake top elements.
Photo taken by Legonardo Davidy, since I gave it to him before I remembered to take a photo of it.
Enjoy

World Firefly Day is being celebrated this weekend, so here is my favourite image from the western suburbs of Brisbane last firefly season. These are the local "Winter Firefly" (Atyphella scintillans).
Looking forward to photographing them again in a few weeks!
ISO 25600! Even after judicious application of Adobe AI Denoise, it's still pretty noisy but I'm glad to have the shot at all.
Another rare warbird at the Quinte International Airshow is the Firefly, a World War II carrier-borne fighter and anti-submarine aircraft. Only a handful of airworthy Fireflies remain.
Pearns Point, Antigua, Leeward Islands
Situated on the western edge of the Caribbean island of Antigua are the strange forested mounds of Pearns Point. The series of hills lie on top of a peninsula, surrounded by turquoise tropical waters. The area has been privately purchased and is now a luxury development site, offering plots of land under the mantra “shared by few, rivalled by none”. This is the view from the highest plot, at sunrise, where the wispy dawn clouds remind me of dancing fireflies.

Lightning and fireflies
Light up the night just outside the town of Bonito MS during our night clicks. Some centas, ... thousands of fireflies, dance to the rhythm of aleatory flashes of the coming storm. Witness and be able to register this moment was one of my greatest gifts !!!!!
Raios e vagalumes
Iluminam a noite nos arredores da cidade de Bonito MS, durante nossos clicks noturnos. Algumas centas, milhares ... de vagalumes, dançam ao ritmo aleatório dos relâmpejos da tempestade que se aproxima. Presenciar e poder registrar este momento foi um dos meus maiores presentes !!!!!
