General Anyone noticed more lightning bugs this year?

[Cornhole Champ]

Seems for several years there I didn't see a single one, been seeing more and more this year.

 

[CuddleBug]

Yes, I went to 2 parties over the holiday weekend and both times people mentioned it.

 

[Wild]

Yes! We've had a ton more this year than in recent one's. They're everywhere (and awesome).

 

[IschKabibble]

Yes. But that's because there were no lightning bugs in Florida.

 

[Bushkill Blades]

Yup.

Apparently they had perfect breeding conditions this year.

It's about the same here in Upstate SC. There are fewer here than there were when I lived on the other side of the mountains in TN. There were a shit-ton of them in East TN.

As a teenager I remember seeing fields glowing with how many there were. Good to see they are making a come back.

I feel bad for the lightning bugs I smashed in my hands as a child to make my hands glow

 

[sparkuri]

Yeah way more!
I was driving home the night before last and they were all over the sides of the roads and I was so freaked out because I thought they were deer eyes.

Or poor kid glow in the dark tshirt logos. They did not die in vain.

I remember as a kid catching about 20 in a jar then letting them all go in the camper we were all sleeping in…. I was adopted and trying to create one of those memories we all laugh about later in life

Took about 20 min for the shit to hit the fan

Seems to have worked. You were a precocious kid to think of it that way.

We used an oversized red whiffle ball bat. It's impressive how long the glow lasts.

During our Fuck England Party on July 4 we noticed there was an insane amount of fireflies. The little kids were running around catching them and putting them in a plastic jug.

Then they forgot about them and by morning they all died.

@Uncle Tom Doug is curious about making his penis glow. He may only need about 3 bugs though.

The red Flintstones bat! My preferred weapon for cicada swarms.

Buddy, it'd only take half of one.

This is the scene of the crime. What else were we supposed to do for fun? We started picking all the apples off the apple trees and took turns smashing homeruns out into the field with them, first with the Flinstones bat, then upgrading to a wooden bat. We got in a lot of trouble that year. Grandma had no apples for applesauce. lol
