FIREFLIES

Fireflies.  It was quite dark in the kitchen this morning and I spotted a tiny light next to the dog bowl.  It was an upside-down Firefly that appeared close to death.  I photographed it first in the dark and the in the light outside.  Then came back into the house to check the photos on the computer-when I went back outside the Firefly had recovered and left.  Male Fireflies use a complex chemical reaction called Bioluminescence to create the blinking light that attracts the female and they put on a good show last night over our prairie.
