Hello Lexxi! On June 29th I saw bunches of fireflies in Wisconsin. I have not yet seen any in Minnesota, but I've mainly been in the Twin Cities. Remind me, what state you live in again? And btw Randall, if you're still in GA, I am planning on being in Hot'Lanta, GA next spring for a National Chess Tournament (the other Immortal Game I like to play)! Did you know International Chess Day is coming up on July 20th? JUGA - IMMORTAL GAME IP: Logged |

Yes, we call them June Bugs here! More about all that http://www.southernliving.com/what-is-a-june-bug-7558225
Not a nice bug related to scarabs and or dung beetles. Fireflies and lightning bugs are an entirely different creature. http://www.southernliving.com/culture/fireflies-or-lightning-bugs IP: Logged |

Wow😳 Here the June bug is a nasty looking creature not a firefly or lightning bug. I lived in Waycross, Atlanta and Valdosta Georgia as a child and only heard them called fireflies for the he most part. More about all that http://www.southernliving.com/what-is-a-june-bug-7558225
Fireflies and lightning bugs are an entirely different creature. http://www.southernliving.com/culture/fireflies-or-lightning-bugs They are distantly related but not at all the same.
Weird fact you can eat June Bugs😳🤮
