Fireflies

They have arrived in my yard and I do enjoy seeing them. They are still mostly in my neighbor's yard but they are in the area. I have great memories of catching them as a child, We put them in jars with holes in the lids. I know how the Japanese loved them and if they happened to be in the area during their time that were overjoyed. I'm not sure but think they only go as far west as Manhattan. I don't think western Kansas has them. I do not know how far east they go either. I do love firefly season and am sorry when they leave.
