    During COVID when nobody able to spray for mosquitoes there was a really cool resurgence - even in the suburbs. Came home from a bicycle ride late one evening, and swear every tree had Christmas lights strung up, they were chilling out and just glimmering in every branch.

    I pushed the bike home that night and watched the show in the trees, a lovely coda to the day

        When we were kids we’d catch them in jars sometimes and if you smelled the jar after it def had a scent. If the population is dense enough you can just smell it in the air.

    Was just having this conversation last night with a friend as we were remarking to each other how mesmerizing dusk is with the summer fireflies.

    When he said they didn’t exist out West where he grew up I was surprised.

    Thought all along fireflies at dusk was one of the more enchanting parts of summer.
