When to See Fireflies in the Great Smoky Mountains in 2022
Out My Backdoor: Fireflies Create Sparkling Backyard Wonderlands | Department Of Natural Resources Division
Study: Fireflies are facing extinction - WWAYTV3
"Fireflies are twinkling little stars that could not make it to the sky despite their butt on fire just like that of a rocket. A Firefly darkens when at rest as the idleness brings despair. This light bug shines only when on wings and in darkness .You be full of bright ideas, have a healthy glow will shine when your thoughts and Actions are in harmony with your real -self!"
