<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Well Rick you should see an anglers book on Caddis Flies or Stoneflies.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">They will quickly displace the idea there is only one species.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">And someone has thought up a fly for each species as well as ones for the </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Larva, Pupa, Emerger and Egg-layer.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I would be hard pressed to carry the number of flies they deem as essential.</span>
</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lots of fun but I only use a Sooty Olive!</span>

It's important to remember that there are at least several species. So while we may recall when the most common species comes out (whichever that is) we don't remember the secondary species. And populations of each species can vary a lot year to year. Our displays have always been poor compared to what you can see in the lower 2/3 of the US or the tropics.

As laypeople, we tend to talk about "blackflies", "mosquitoes", "ladybeetles" or "fireflies" as if there was one species of each. This is pretty far from reality as we have a number, or many, species of each of these, as well as most other insects that we name generically. And, of course, with natural selection EACH species has its own unique life history and time of occurrence throughout the 6 or 8 decent months.

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 here in the past, and where I grew up in Spryfield, but only in August and and even then, only on really warm still nights.....

Is it normal for them to be active at this time of the year?
