Every year at this event I find fireflies. And every year I want to take pictures of them and capture them. Well here we go! I finally did it! :-D

Or possibly a Netwing Beetle Larvae. Hard to tell without seeing them eat, but judging by all the adult Fireflies in the area, I'm betting on them.
Seen a stone's throw from my home, by the side of a county road. Look closely & you will find a world inside a world inside a world! Seen on June 17, 2008 in Columbia County, New York, USA. Just the night before, we had seen a firefly (lightning bug--which do you call them?) sitting on the porch screen, repeatedly flashing. I hope someone was watching, other than us! Requested & posted on NowPublic.com on September 2, 2008.
You would not believe how hard it is to catch a photo of a firefly...
(You have to track, manually focus, and predict when he's going to blink all at the same time.)

Apparently many of the fireflies are still alive and kicking, unlike the ones scattered over our balcony.

The Firefly. This winged beetle is endemic to most temperate and tropical regions. It is best known for its bioluminescence. The colors of this glow include yellow, green, and a pale red. Their primary diet consists of pollen or nectar, though some are predatory. they possess few natural enemies, since the chemicals that produce their "glow" are toxic to most vertebrates. #ourbreathingplanet
This one flew indoors last night and settled in a dark enough spot for me to notice it flashing. Perhaps Luciola nigra. Taking off - perhaps mid-flash, given how bright the tail looks.

V. and Lucy, someday…
The gray in your hair still means hope for me.
