It was simply amazing!I was sitting outside of my motel in Lincoln Nebraska when one floated down near me. When he lit up I was so filled with joy that I began to sob and tears of happiness ran down my cheeks. Absolute. Best. Experience. Ever!

"If there was never any darkness, we would never see the fireflies!"

My sister and I enjoy taking a stroll in the park in the evenings after work. On our most recent walk we encountered a ton of soft flashing lights. I can't even begin to describe how amazed I was. The peacefulness of their glow mixed with the gentle chirping of cicadas in the background. I would give anything to experience it again!

(Not my picture! I came across this moment unexpectedly and didn't have a camera on me ^^;.)

 

It was surreal and magical <3

Stayed at a friends in the Cambodian jungle, had a random get together with some Cambodian builders one evening and as we stood there in came a firefly. Another of those things that I'd wanted to see for a long, long time.

Most beautiful amazing experience of my life. Sugar shack 2013

Sat in the park near the dorms with my brother, drinking beer and chatting, and there they were. Got kind of spooked by a hedgehog rummaging around, too.

 

One time I steped on a firefly while drunk, while looking at its glowing guts on the ground I ran into a fence and put a 1in gash in the forehead.
