Just curious...where are the most fireflies in NC.? That is something I am so looking forward to seeing again!! It's better then Disneyland!!
We used to have tons of "lightning bugs" here in Woodlynne NJ (right next to Camden NJ).
Like everything else in Camden.............they ran away before they were robbed or killed. AND I'M SERIOUS.
What I find so facinating is that having lived in NC most of my life, I just assumed light'ng bugs were EVERYWHERE!
Imagine my surprise, just 2 years ago, when I had clients from Calif ask me what those little lights were! And imagine THEIR surprise when I told them that they were BUGS!

I've heard they begin to disappear west of the Mississippi River. Not sure why.
That's so sad. And yet I know it's true. There seems to be little room left in this world for natures most precious!!!
Cyn,
No sad faces.
I will always remember, even living in a rather large city like Camden, seeing "lightning bugs".
I'll always cherish such a simple pleasure.
God willing, we will be in North Carolina this summer (for good) and wait for the little "buggers" to FLY.
Won't ever forget catching my first "fireflies" and then felling SO BAD.
HAD TO LET THEM GO.

My first summer here I was I unpacking while drinking wine and when I went outside I was thinking am I that drunk that I am seeing all of these little flashing lights??? I soon realized they were lightning bugs. Most of us people from CA have only seen them at Pirates of the Caribean at Disneyland.

We were out scouting new homes and it was dusk ....getting darker by the minute. We were walking though construction and I had fallen in love with a homes floorplan. DH liked it too! But as we stood in the back I told him the lot would never work. That there must be a busy road behine the trees as I kept seeing headlights pass through. He looked me and said there is no road there. The closer we looked we realized they were lightning bugs! We ended up without that house anyhoo as 2 minutes later we realized it was in the RDU flight pattern (cameron Pond).
I saw my first lightin bug here in Oakboro last night!!! Well, the first one since we visited here 3 years ago. Now we live here and am looking forward to seeing many more. I know very little about where we have moved to, New London NC but hope those lightin bugs will be plentiful there!!!
Aren't the minds of children great??!! Sounds like he has a great lifes list!!
