    Used to catch them growing up. There would be thousands of them periodically blinking in the yard and across the field every night. It was pretty and serene.

    I saw one just the other night when I let my dogs out before going to bed. It was so surprising that I had to wait a minute and verify I wasn’t just seeing things. It was a real life lightning bug. It was a happy sad moment.
