3581 Fireflies

There something odd going on with the fireflies (lightning bugs) tonight.

Normally, they flash and then the light quickly dies down, usually within three seconds   Tonight they are flashing, and then the flash dies down very slowly, like someone is turning down a dimmer switch.  It's taking like six seconds or more to go dark.  (Count it off - it's actually a long time.)  Sometimes they flash again before the previous flash is even half gone.  I've never seen that before.

It's about 77 degrees F out there, so I doubt that it's due to heat.

Maybe it's the end of the dance and they still don't have a partner.

I noticed the lightning bugs in my yard last evening, too.
