  1. A car in the background is not something I would expect from a nature picture, but in this case it perfectly adds to the atmosphere and message. Very creative! Posted 13 years ago
  2. Thanks Joost. We are nature too. Posted 13 years ago
  3. In my opinion it only enhances the contrast, highlighting (ha, yep) the warrior even more than its tail does Well chosen variety of background I say:) Posted 13 years ago

''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''.
