If you enjoy fireflies make a summer pilgrimage up to Elkmont in the Smokies. Rare synchronous fireflies, they all go off at once. Mesmerizing. It’s gotten so popular that tour buses show up with park rangers on hand to direct traffic. Bring your lawn chairs.

To be able to view something like that must be amazing! When we were able to sit outdoors in the summer evenings and actually have these performing for us, we were mesmerized. Thought we had seen it all until we took a trip to Puerto Rico and visited Phosphorescent Bay.

You mean they blink at the same time? How neat! I wonder if it’s a special species that has adapted to do that.
