The channel changed on Cat TV

I've noticed that firefly season must be over since I'm not seeing the tell tale twilight blinking lately. It was fun while it lasted, especially for JonJon who since I've been going to bed around peak firefly activity time, I was entertained watching him be entertained looking out the window and twitching his head toward the light when a firefly's glow went off. Looking it up, there's a chance if the environment is just so, we may see them again this summer. Hope so.

This, however, is Firefly watching, epic level. Also educational.

Watch on YouTube

Growing up, we called them "lightning bugs" but "firefly" is a prettier word. I remember catching them in a jar when I was a kid.
Ever do that too?

Aw, poor Jon-Jon. Hopefully he'll find another favorite show soon. We never had fireflies where I grew up.

Fortunately my apartment is next to a house with a line of trees so he and Junie get plenty of bird and squirrel watching.

That's a bummer that you never got to see them growing up! Even though I don't like bugs, I wasn't all that squeamish about trying to catch them. The glowing butts somehow made them desirable to hold. lol
