Truly AMAZING!!! More fireflies than I've ever seen in my life. My sister and I walked along the boardwalk and then stood for an hour watching the phenomenon.
There were lots of people, but most everyone was whispering and being respectful by using red flashlights (instead of the white ones, which scare the fireflies away). This happens once a year, usually between the last two weeks of May and first two weeks of June, for about two weeks. When I called the Park Ranger to check, he said the fireflies are more active this year than he's seen in a long time.
How many of you caught "lightnin' bugs" in a jar when you were a child?
I have a scene in my post-Revolutionary novel, Laurel, when my main characters are swimming in a waterfall pool and see thousands of fireflies.
