Mating Calls | Photinus pyralis

Over at Scientific American, photographer Alex Wild's
discussing some of the techniques used
to photograph fireflies.

I'm knee-deep in fireflies every evening now,
working on my firefly book, which will be published in 2016.

I'm working with video as much as still imaging,
here's a still from one of my videos.

"A mating call heard in the secret compartment
between flashes, trembling wings
whisper the day's end."
