Beautifully written. I was just reading about Dark Sky preserves and other efforts to reduce light pollution for the sake of wildlife; the connection you draw between constellations and fireflies really seems to bring that all together nicely.
We have glow worms in New Zealand, but not fireflies to my knowledge, although I read American books as a child so I knew about them. This was really interesting and the glowing frog video was fascinating
I love, love fireflies and share the same childhood memories (grass and Saran Wrap includes). I was literally watching this very topic on Nature (PBS) last night. So interesting. https://ihavenotv.com/creatures-of-light-nova-pbs

Love the blinking frog. Thought I'd seen it all.
