So Much Music | Photinus pyralis

A beacon lights the way to a future summer,
so much music, so much silence.

    Every firefly photo stuns me. I have a question though, perhaps I'm asking for the impossible...have you ever managed to do a true macro on a Firefly, getting really really up close whilst its lit? I imagine that to be extremely difficult, then again it would be such a unique shot. Posted 12 years ago

    I've made many images up close while lit, Ferdy, several here on JungleDragon, and more at http://MicroWilderness.com. Posted 12 years ago

The Common eastern firefly

''Photinus pyralis'', known by the common names common eastern firefly and big dipper firefly, is the most common species of firefly in North America. This organism is sometimes incorrectly classified as ''Photuris pyralis'', which likely results from mistaking the similar sounding genus ''Photuris''.
