Very pretty. It's like a moving painting.

What do you think?
 
Pretty coool, I've never even seen a firefly in real life.
 
When I was younger, I'd catch fireflies in a glass jar at night. Very amazing little insects. Before you ask, yes, I did let them go.

You didn't break them open, rub the glow stuff on your face and run around all crazy? :P
 
That's pretty neat.

Fireflies are very lucky you haven't seen them yet :scared2:
 
The light of a firefly is a chemical reaction caused by an organic compound luciferin. As air rushes into a firefly’s abdomen, it reacts with the luciferin. This causes a chemical reaction that gives off the firefly’s familiar glow.

That is a pretty cool pic! I've still never seen them IRL.
