They like the humid/warm/hot weather and you'll have this after this afternoon's rain and the hot weekend ahead.

JTA66 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Tomorrow I was going to mow the sections of the yard that have been experiencing swamp conditions, what with the dry week and an additional dry day that was forecasted for today.

Seeing lots of those guys this week. As far as hallucinogens go, I can assure you that we are not making this up, lol. This place seems to be a magnet for lightning bugs, the first year we were here we were blown away by how many there were, and a lot up high along the trees too. So we've studied up a little and have tried to keep a nurturing environment for them. I think I've posted about the early ones in the past, it started about 4 or 5 years ago. One or two show up around the 10th of May or so, and do their thing. Seeing one flash one time doesn't really count, you need to verify by seeing it flash a few times, to make sure it's not a plane on the other side of the trees. So right now it's early bird season, and most years they'll disappear a few days before the main crew shows up, although there has been at least one year where there was continuity. That's when you see one one night, 2 or 3 the next, then 4 or 5, then you stop counting. That usually starts around the 25th of May here give or take. Looking forward to it!

You do know I'm kidding, right? I've lived all across Mont/Bucks county and I don't remember seeing them early/mid-May. I always thought of them showing up early June or so. Maybe my timing is off? Apparently they started early last year as well? But they also mentioned, "The first sightings of lightning bugs in Pennsylvania usually occur in late May." which kinda sounds more like what I remember. I guess many factors involved. https://www.pennlive.com/life/2021/05/fireflies-are-flashing-early-this-year-in-pennsylvania.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an explanation for the early guys, and there's always 2 of them. Somehow they manage, and for a few years in a row now. Like you I always thought of them as a June thing, and that's still the case overall, and maybe cuz we're further south here they start the last week of May. We're always outside so that's something we're on the lookout for this time of year. It's really humid out, talk about a sudden transition! I've been cutting up the rest of a tree we cut down late yesterday, to avoid doing it tomorrow, but the sweat comes easily tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In Lou Nolan's voice). We're outside for an evening kettle fire, but haven't started it yet, lol. Another degree or two and a dry tee shirt should do it.
