Holiday Lights | Photinus pyralis

A living light, ornament of summer evenings past,
juggling suitors too excited for their own good,
judging the flight of tiny suns.

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''.
