    Rick, quick question....we're currently trying to link photos to specific countries. I was wondering if all your photos uploaded to JungleDragon are taken in the US? Posted 10 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''.
