I don't think we have those out here but I grew up with them and always viewed them as an indictator of good weather and good times.

Theognome | My husband is from outside Toronto, Canada. And they don't have fireflies up there. He saw his first one after he moved to the states to marry me. It never occurred to me that they didn't have them where he was from.
I was doing something else and he suddenly says "What are those little flashing green lights outside?" It was a beautiful thing to watch him enjoying fireflies for the first time. I followed him outside to catch one so he could look at it. Brought me back to how amazing they really are!

I love lightning bugs. . .
This evening they were all over the place. A couple of weeks ago my daughter and one of her friends just about filled a mason jar with them and used it for their 'lantern'.
