Photinus pyralis aka the Eastern Firefly. But growing up we called them lightning bugs. Caught this one mid-takeoff. #fireflies #lightningbugs #tennessee

~ Fireflies ~

As with most animals tied to the element of Air, Fireflies are spiritual messengers. Catch one (carefully!!) in your cupped hands and whisper a wish or a message to a loved one, then open your hands and release it.

Several fireflies fly from a glass jar against a dark background. Many of them have glowing green abdomens and there are glowing sparkles trailing them. The The text details some firefly facts as well as their metaphysical properties and symbolism. Presented by Inked Goddess Creations.

A dark forest overgrown with ivy is populated by fireflies flying around. The fireflies are visible as yellow blurred dots and contrast beautifully with the bluish forest.

The fireflies are here!

And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge...🎵

Extreme closeup photograph of a firefly or lightening bug standing atop unopened common milkweed flower buds in my garden. Common milkweed produces a ball-shaped inflorescence with a large number of small flowers on short stem that radiate around a central stem. Each flower bud is egg-shaped and covered in small hairs and the appearance is similar to the alien eggs loaded with face-huggers from the movie series "Alien". The firefly is likely common eastern firefly (Photinus pyralis) which is in the beetle family. It has an oblong body with black wings covers with a yellow outline, a yellow plate on the back of its thorax with a black spot in the lower center with red patches on either side of the black spot, a black head with large, bulbous compound eyes, two long segmented antennae, and six black segmented legs.

Fireflies!

I received my copy of The Urban Naturalist from Menno Shilthuizen. Chapter 18 is all about the urban fireflies of Kuala Lumpur and the citizen science program there that I worked on.

It's time for the dancing lights festival. I have the privilege to regularly attend a local event of fireflies session on a Biological Park near me.

This year I caught an wonderful night with lots of them flying around. I didn't have proper equipment but couldn't let this opportunity to catch them on my lens go to waste.

So here it is, an handheld 20 second exposure, with poor focus but, in my opinion, still a beautiful shot.

This is a watercolor painting of Fireflies in a Meadow in landscape orientation. The top 2/3 is the sky at dusk going from indigo with stars and a crescent moon to purple with clouds to pink with smaller whispier clouds towards the horizon line. The bottom third is the meadow with a tree line at the horizon line. The meadow is filled with fireflies. Towards the bottom are bigger closer ones and they get smaller as the move towards the tree line.

In the traditional calendar June 11th-15th is known as 'kusaretaru kusa hotaru to naru' (腐草為螢), 'rotten grass becomes fireflies'. There was a belief, imported from the mainland, that fireflies were born from grass decaying in the humid early summer heat.

What better way to celebrate firefly season than with Kameya Yoshinaga's (亀屋良長) cooling 'hotaru-no-yoru' (蛍の夜 'evening fireflies').
The sweet is a type of 'kingyoku' (錦玉), a jelly made from boiling agar and sugar...particularly popular in summer.

🍵HUNTING FIREFLIES✨

Each year Shimogamo-jinja (下鴨神社) holds a special tea gathering called 'Hotarubi-no-Chakai' (蛍火の茶会). Over 600 fireflies are released beside the Mitarashi-gawa (御手洗川) as evening falls, bringing an otherworldly feel to the tea ceremony.

Fireflies are kept in a cage at Shimogamo-jinja, ready for evening when they will be released in a beautiful display.

Tiny fireflies rendered in sweet form...the blue and green represents a river and riverbank.

Torches are lit at Shimogamo-jinja to illuminate the dark grounds ready for the release of fireflies.

Nao-san sets off for Shimogamo-jinja's firefly event.

Photographer Captures the Summertime Magic of Fireflies via My Modern Met [Shared]

Every summer, Japan’s forests bear witness to magic. Thousands of fireflies, or himebotaru, drift through the night sky, emitting a soft glow not unlike that of a candle or a star. Against the thick leaves, these insects almost resemble fairies, a comparison that has not gone unnoticed by photographer Kazuaki Koseki.
