Lightning Bugs!!!Have you ever wondered about the small, blinking creatures that light up the Summer ights? Lightning bugs, also called fireflies, are not simply bugs and are not flies. They are beetles and there are about 136 different species of fireflies illuminating Earth’s Summer nights! Although other insects can produce light, fireflies are the only insects that can flash their light on and off in distinct signals. Just seeing Lightning Bugs takes me back to those warm Summer nights when I was growing up! I can remember running around in the backyard with my empty mason jar, trying to catch the flashing lights all around me. Lightning bugs are as much a part of Summer as Fireworks, fresh tomatoes and big slabs of juicy watermelon. Sometimes I wonder if God created lightning bugs just to make us smile! |
