Your posts always floor me. I love your photos. I love your descriptions. When I was very young we used to love fireflies. We would catch them but were careful not to hurt them. The farmers in my community didn't mind them at all. I don't know if the information about larval diets was known back in the 50s, but farmers are pretty clever about these things. There is a kind of folklore that grows up around the allies and enemies of farmers. Fireflies were fun. Too bad their light burns bright and then goes out so quickly.

Thanks for another relaxing, interesting read.
