Twilight Comet | Firefly

Lifting off into a misty night, a firefly dandy
shines a quicksilver light on the new year,
his flickering tail a twilight comet
orbiting sleepy green yards.

Not only very colorful, but also very interesting. I've never seen the appearance of a firefly by daylight, they're beautiful so it seems. Posted 13 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''.
