Alice, lovely piece and very engaging writing. It brought me back to my childhood when we chased lightning bugs every summer. I now live on a 600 acre farm with vast fields and very little light pollution but still, it is very noticeable, how few fireflies there are. These beautiful insects, that light up our souls and bring us back to our early years, are so important to our changing society, that it would be a shame for the future generations not to witness this miracle. Thank you so much for raising this concern and writing about the joys we can still experience during the summer.
