This is 60 seconds worth of fireflies. Light pollution, cars, and a full moon that was to rise in a half hour add light to the scene. I was shooting at f1.4 so depth of focus was pretty shallow, but it seems to work having the background out of focus... I might have cropped in at bottom and right? - but liked those fireflies against the dark trees at the right too much...
TYPE AN 'L' TO SEE THIS ON BLACK
Tiny stars on summer nights,
Dancing softly, golden lights.
Flickring magic, freely they roam,
Guiding lost souls safely home.

Hi I am Jens
I am a AFOL from Germany.
I have been building for many years but recently decided to post online. Sorry if my english is not the best.
Here is my firefly drone. He is a worker at a factory and one of my favourite models of mine.
Thanks for looking!

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 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 get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, 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 (when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far to tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar
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 (when I fall asleep)
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 (when I fall asleep)
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
Because my dreams are bursting at the seam
Pyractomena larva using its anal appendage to groom the head. July 2013
joeCicero commented on bugguide.net, "it's a Pyractomena larva cleaning its head and cervix...but the degree of protraction of the head is beyond anything known for the family...it is known that firefly can protract to some degree, so that the head is completely out of the prothorax and the cervix shows as well, but it is not known that the cervix can be so long....this must correlate to the need for larvae to reach the deep interior of the helix of snailshells to get all the food out...find one feeding on a snail or give a snail with a deep helix to this one and watch to see what it can do to reach the core."

I went out tonight and watched the fireflies twinkling against my dark backyard. The sight was just so perfect, a simple moment that you really just have to stop and enjoy. I loved every second of it. Nature never ceases to amaze me.
I decided that it'd be fun to have a few in my bedroom tonight, so I grabbed a tupperware-type container and filled it with about 8 new friends. I brought them into my room and watched as they lit up, but the light was dull, and I found myself unsatisfied. I brought them into my closet with the lights out and set the container on the floor. Each time they lit up, the whole container would glow with a pale yellow light. I couldn't keep my eyes off of it, I didn't want to miss a second.
After watching them for a while, I thought "hey, this would make an awesome long-exposure shot"
And... here it is.
Tonight was just one of those summer nights. :]
Designed and built during WWII as carrier based two-seat fleet reconnaissance/fighter flown by Fleet Air Arm. By the end of the war it was too heavy given its engine to be used as a fighter, and it was switched over to ground attack and anti-submarine duties. This is one of 3 flyable Fireflys left in the world.
Walking along a hiking trail late at night, I noticed several fireflies sitting in the grass below a group of trees.
