Fireflies

For those who live in the Pacific Northwest and haven't traveled far, you may have always seen fireflies in cartoons or in movies but never thought more about them. We have discovered that fireflies are infact real and can be caught. We've also learned a some about how they work. They light up when they are flying up, away from the ground and they seem to lose their light after a few hours, or at least, the later at night, the less we see them. We've tried taking pictures of them, but we haven't been able to get any amazing pictures of them. For those who would love to see them, you'll just have to come visit us to get a good look at fireflies during the summer! We have tried to take a picture of them though. The little light in the pictures is actually the fireflies. Normally we see tons at once, but for some reason we couldn't get pictures of tons all at once, weird, huh?
