bellabella @dabbe, YES! @TheSpineView, great haiku. I love lightning bugs. Question for everyone. Lightning bugs or Fireflys? 8mo

dabbe @bellabella We tend to say “firefly“ out here in the ol' rugged west. 🤣 8mo

lil1inblue This brings me back! We don't tend to get lightning bugs here, but I loved catching them as a kid. 💛 8mo

Kristy_K Reminds me of my childhood! 💛 8mo

AnnCrystal Fireflies! 🤩 Wish we had them here! Brilliant 👏🏼🐝👍🏼🪲🔦🐝👍🏼. 8mo

TheSpineView @bellabella Lightning bugs! I have already seen a few here. 8mo

TheSpineView @Kristy_K Sure does! 8mo

TheSpineView @AnnCrystal Thanks 8mo

TheSpineView @lil1inblue Fun times 8mo

TheSpineView @dabbe 👍🤩🌞 8mo

TheSpineView @JenlovesJT47 👍🌞🤩 8mo

julieclair Love this! 8mo

julieclair @bellabella As a kid growing up in New Jersey, we called them lightning bugs. They were such fun! 8mo

bellabella @julieclair New Jersey?! I've never been there, but I'd love to visit that state once. 😍 8mo

bellabella @dabbe Nice! It's changed for me several times over my childhood and over the past few years.I feel like because I'm Midwestern I just say whatever the people around me are calling them. 😂 8mo

bellabella @TheSpineView @AnnCrystal @lil1inblue It's so interesting how everyone calls them differently based on where they live. 8mo

BooksandCoffee4Me I‘ve always called them fireflies, but I‘ve only seen them once on a camping trip as a kid. Enjoy them, everyone — do kids really catch them in jars and will they light inside? (Sorry, LA born and raised means I‘m kind of ignorant about some of the fun nature things). 8mo

Eggs Love this haiku and image - magic!! We love the fireflies in Texas ✨ 7mo

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Grew up in PA and called them fireflies - live in NJ now!
Y'all will appreciate this interactive poem my Intro to Lit students loved - “Yardley, PA 1997“ by Todd Anderson: https://toddwords.com/hotwriting/inthedark/ 7mo

TheSpineView @BooksandCoffee4Me Yes, YES!! It was one of my favorite things to do as kids. My Mom had a 'special' mason for me to use. It had holes in the lid so they got air. 7mo

Reggie This is lovely. 7mo

dabbe @bellabella 🎯🩵🎯 7mo

DebinHawaii I‘ve never lived where fireflies are common & I‘ve always regretted it! Beautiful! 💛🐝🖤 7mo
