One evening a few days ago, I went out the back door and nearly ran into a firefly hovering at face level. He turned toward me -- and flashed his little light!
I won't kid you, it was flattering. At my age, you take positive attention where you can find it. But it wasn't to be. I told him he was kind, and gently wafted him away from the back stoop and sidewalk so he'd hover over the grass and have better odds of finding his match.

YOu might enjoy this on firefly hunting, includes synchronous flashing and blue ghosts....

The firefly had found his match for brightness, at least.
