The Fireflies
As a child, I was always amazed by the glowing bugs that flew around at night. I later learned that there are over 150 species of fireflies living on Earth. One of the most adorable ones is the blinking beetle that appears in the twilight. People used to catch them and put them in jars as lanterns. Fireflies thrive in beautiful forests with an abundance of trees. Unfortunately, their lifespan is very short - it takes them two years to develop, but they only live for a month. They usually come out in the summer, from June to September. Have you ever seen a thousand of them glowing green like nylon? It's truly a wonder to behold. It's a shame that we now rely so much on electricity and artificial lighting that children in towns and suburbs rarely get to see them anymore.
