Fireflies

[Ratsima]

We saw the first fireflies of the season in our garden last night. Pleasant reminder that the wet season is here to stay.

A couple of years ago my wife called me to the door. As I came outside she pointed to the hillside across the road. It was lit up like a Christmas tree, thousands and thousands of these natures twinkling lights covered the hill.

We have had fireflies for about a month already. They appeared about the same time the flying termites appeared.

i agree they are beautiful when swarming in the bamboo.

Anybody got photos? My camera isn't up to the job....

As wolfman jack reports, they have been around Chiang Mai for about a month. Sometimes, like last night, we do not see them until we go to bed and see them lighting up. I have also seen them in Wisconsin, and at the border of Mexico and Guatemala. The one last night was very bright.

The one last night was very bright.

Also been watching them for about a month. Saw one the other night with his light stuck on, bad relay I guess.

I grew up in Wisconsin and always enjoy watching them here in Thailand. Good memories.
