I have amazing memories as a kid seeing fields that looked like this! I miss it.

That’s a long exposure, but there really can be that many of them. I was out on a moonless night in upstate New York. It was dark enough that an amazing number of stars was visible (I could even see the Milky Way), I was surrounded by fireflies and glowworms, and there were no other sources of light one I turned my flashlight off. It was so dark that I couldn’t see my own feet, just lights in all directions.

We have this many right now in the swamps.

I used to live out in the country near a nature preserve and can confirm it looks like this.
Now I’m forced to live in the burbs and get excited when I see a single firefly.

stop mowing your lawn and stop raking leaves, and the fireflies ought to come back

I didn’t rake my leaves and now have two, but my neighbors all mow their lawns and get rid of leaves

There used to be at least some fireflies every year where I lived in Brooklyn when I was a kid but now there aren’t.
