Meena, We had fireflies in early June and possibly earlier. We commented that we thought they were very early this year, but I didn't note what date that was. --Marty ====================================== Marty Schlabach [email protected] 8407 Powell Rd. home 607-532-3467 Interlaken, NY 14847 cell 315-521-4315 ======================================

Finally, they are here. The Fireflies! About 30 + flying in the front and back yard. Till yesterday I had not seen them, so I was wondering if changes in the plant compositions changed the habitat for them. But no, I think they just were late in emerging this year. I went out to switch on moth lights, and was glad to observe fourth of July fireworks in the yard! I know Karen Edelstein posted seeing them a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone else seen them earlier this year?
