I think this is such a beautifully breathtaking image.
Friday night we went out to Lake Catherine to visit the Pharr's and the Tucker's who have been camping this week. We had a wonderful dish of fried mustard catfish--yum!
Lightning bugs are in full season, and the woods were filled with their flashes. But I started to wonder: why do fireflies only come out during the summer? I knew they were nocturnal, so that explained their night flights.
Fireflies tend to live for about one year from one mating season to the next, and summer just happens to be their time to mate. Ah, love is in the air! This means that these beetles are born, mature to adulthood, mate, and die. Despite the very practical route their lives take, I still feel they have a fairly long lifecycle for being a bug.
Fireflies' luminescence is used to attract other fireflies to mate or to attract prey, just like a peacock uses its plumage...or the way some of us ladies bat our eyelashes or use Bath and Body Works' raspberry vanilla spray. HA! (That's Zach's favorite. ;)
