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've never seen a glow worm -- I like the thought of them illuminating the earth. The frog is truly strange and remarkable, hard to forget. I hope all is well in New Zealand, thank you for reading!
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
"How to survive in the dark? Make light." Watching this now and it's completely insane, all these light creatures. Part of me belongs in the deep. Thank you for the link!

Thank you, Marilyn! Here's to all the small bright lights of life.

Love the blinking frog. Thought I'd seen it all.
I know, crazy right?
