Photo (1) of 6. This series of 6 photos were taken at 9:09, 9:09, 9:09, 9:10, 9:11 and 9:12 PM on Friday June 26, 2009 in Alexandria, Virginia. This photinus firefly, presumably a female, appeared to have dropped down from a bush branch (Viburnum dentatum) just above onto this Hardy Ageratum leaf (Conoclinium coelestinum). It walked around the top third of the leaf with its last three abdomen segments extended below its wing covers and with the abdomen tip appearing to point down. Could it have been marking the leaf? It appeared to finally settle near the apex of the leaf with its head oriented toward the apex. I left at that point. I did not check to see if it was still there later in the evening.

The daytime firefly hibernates in the crevices of the bark in thick-barked trees and wander about on warm winter days.

Whoever would have guessed that Firefly would help me on a vocab quiz?

With my camera flash off, I was able to capture (kind of) a firefly. It's better viewed at the larger size.
