Sounds like good news. Fireflies eat pests and are generally beautiful creatures. Here’s hoping this is a sign that their worldwide decline is being reversed.

I miss fireflies. I live out west now, and we don't seem to get them here. Miss fireflies and warm summer evenings the most.

I don't think I've seen them my whole life so its good to hear they're making a return.
