In the shadow of a blue moon,
a firefly cages unruly atoms,
summer heat struggling to break free.

A wow, rick, absolutely great. you know, maybe it's a coincidence or a butterfly effect, Yesterday I was thinking about fireflies I saw on a camp trip last year without my DSLR and how I would love to see some again (and be prepared;)). Thx for lifting my mind. Posted 13 years ago

This organism is sometimes incorrectly classified as ''Photuris pyralis'', which likely results from mistaking the similar sounding genus ''Photuris''.
