Years ago, on the way up North, we stopped in Intercourse, PA, in Amish country, at a B&B. That evening, we saw the most incredible sight: HUGE swarms of lightning bugs -- about 12 feet high by 9 feet wide, and they were thick -- several thousand bits of light. It was AMAZING! They lit up the yard.
Maybe it was because the Amish in the area don't depend on cars or lawn mowers and other gas-powered machines and maybe because of that, air pollution levels are far lower, and that enables the lightning bugs to thrive? I don't know. But it was an incredible sight, worthy of National Geographic. I wish I'd brought my camera.
(Yes, it was even more magical than Cary.
