      fireflies sighted with the first warm evenings when one could park
      near some secluded shrubbery and in comfort, neck etc. etc. in a
      car. The several I collected in later years were mid to late June.

      I was out around 10:30 PM last night... as I was looking for the
      Starlink satellites to pass overhead.... On my way down to the
      nearby cemetery, I saw two flashes from a firefly.... and now
      there are a few flashing in my backyard..... I have seen fireflies
