AMAZING FIREFLY SANCTUARY [THOUSANDS] | TLAXCALA MEXICO
Вставка

- And the gold medal of 2017 goes to!
Visiting the Firefly sanctuary near Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala, Mexico was completely unbelievable. Thousands of them, and spinning and swirling around us and into the tree tops. Lighting up IN SYNC with each other like a coordinated light show. It didn't feel like planet earth, it felt like I stood up to fast and was seeing stars, it felt like I stepped into fantasy.
I drove 2 hours to stay at the eco lodge Piedra Canteada, deep in the pine forests of Oyamel. These insects show their faces for just a month every year to breed. This story might sound a little bit like the Monarch Butterfly Migration that we saw earlier in the year, but instead of flying from Canada, the fireflies are here all year round; you just can't see them.
The firefly we know, isn't even a fly, it's a beetle. All beetles have a larval stage called a grub, and fireflies live in the dirt without wings for 20 months before erupting out of a pupae (a bit like a cocoon) for one single month to have a giant sex party.
This show is easily one of the top 5 most amazing natural phenomena I have seen so far in my travels, and I can't believe it's not more popular. Bioluminescence continues to blow my mind. Glowing plankton, fireflies, mushrooms... I think it is incredible.
Enjoy this quick video of the Firefly Sanctuary in Tlaxcala, I don't think anyone has filmed it yet on UA-cam. I needed special equipment, and It was a bit tricky to capture this for you guys.

Just added this to my bucket list. Unbelievably beautiful! ¡Qué hermoso!
This is by far probably one my favorite videos. I've never seen a firefly before but they look really cool!
Wow👌💖 Fireflies are always fascinating & mesmerizing. They are like flying fairies. Thanks for this video.❣️
Good job! You seem really genuine, I'm a traveler myself and like learning about different places and UA-cam is a good resource for that, but I'm just SO SERIOUSLY sick of people behaving like advertisers with abrasive TV voices and cutesy soundtracks putting on a show. I like that you actually talk like a real person and give information. Thank you for being real.
How do you not have millions of subscribers? Holy jeebus. You take beautiful shots, edit seamlessly, and you actually teach. I'm so happy that I just discovered you! Now time to binge all of your videos :-)
Ikr!

absolutely amazing, I miss the fireflies I use to see here in Ontario when I was a kid,, thank you for sharing this amazing experience with me.
This was one of my favorite experiences ever
Beautiful! It's just amazing how many fireflies there were and how the butterflies migrate to Mexico from Canada.
Nature is so beautiful ❤️
En realidad se ve que amas a Mexico.
Mi hermoso México, y aun faltan miles de cosas por conocer, buen trabajo.
My beautiful Mexico, and there are still thousands of things to know, good work Mike.
Wow! The way they pulse in ripples through the forest! I’ve lived in places w fireflies but never that many!
Very cool, Mike! That looked awesome. Can't wait to check it out sometime. Thanks for sharing.
I lived in Tlaxcala for 13 Years and see this is amazing
It’s incredible. Still one of my favorite experiences
Wow I liked soo much your video. So far... I think it's the first video that capture the magic of the fireflies. Thanks for sharing.
So refreshing......reminded me of my beautiful hometown. Thank u😊
It was special there
The most amazing and beautiful video!!!
that is so fantastic and beautiful, very good video my friend !!!
This is absolutely, wonderfully amazing... I would absolutely love to travel and see these kinds of things and learn about the different cultures..
Un espectáculo similar de luciérnagas lo presencié en la montaña de Guerrero México (poblado de santa cruz, cerca de Huamuchtitlan) pero las miles de luciérnagas estaban sobre un cultivo de maíz que no es un lugar muy húmedo como un bosque, no recuerdo la fecha. Fue algo maravilloso e indescriptible, era de noche, se veía como "olas de luz" de puntos verdes y brillantes pero con efecto en 3D, quedé maravillado de ese espectáculo que la madre tierra nos regala, estos eventos hacen que te conectes a la naturaleza, aumentando la sensibilidad a las energías y esencias que viven en toda la tierra.
Tlazocamati huel miac, muchas gracias por este increíble video.

Es un lugar super bonito, mágico e increíble, amo mi país ❤♡
On the east coast of the U.S., particularly in Virginia and the Carolina's... if you go near rivers from late May through early August on warm humid summer evenings
you will see fireflies by the gazillions.
They are magical aren’t they?
Beautiful! What a special and memorable experience for you.
I'm so glad that you like my state Tlaxcala ❤️ 🇲🇽 ✌🏻
Galia Ramón Hola 👳
Thats one of the few inhabitat of these glowing insects ....care and love from india
I grew-up in NW OHIO and I used to L💖VE going outside around SunSet 🌄 + playing till the LIGHTENING BUGS came out ... And WATCHING in AMAZEMENT as they flitt about 😀👍 but We Always had to Head IN IMMEDIATELY Afterward, otherwise we'd get ATTACKED by MOSQUITOES 👎😩 So there was a SMALL WINDOW of Wonder Each Summer Evening 🤗❣️ Loved It ❗
Thank You Mike,
For taking us on that awesome adventure! 💞
I'm from Tlaxcala, amazing video! 🙌❤. Nature is awesome.

Thank you so much for showing this to us, so beautiful
Wow! That looked amazing!
Un video que me hace querer proteger más mi planeta tierra así con esos pequeños seres y también con una fuerza implacable. Buen video
i know im late but u reminded me how we (+cousin) would lay back at d back of an elf truck(having a back massage rough road) and look at all d glistening trees filled with fireflies how fr chaotic tree dodgers to silent mesmerized children.. U know ur tired fr d 6-8 hours drive but hypnotized we would stay up all night just watching them as we travel from Baguio to visit our lola in Aurora.. Thanks Mik² i hope my son could still c them when we go.. It was really dark unurbanized n u could feel d spirit but with fireflies forming d shapes of the trees u felt peaceful
I have to say mike your editing style is amazing
I like to spend a bit of extra time to have some fun with it.
It's so dreamy!!! I really want to go there, badly!
recently i visited Tennessee and saw those magical creatures in synchrony , i since searched for videos which capture them well , yours was the only one which came close and i 've seen NGC ones too. Good job.
Wow, speechless. That was just so beautiful. xx

Cool video!! I really liked it. I´m a biologist from Mexico and I loved the fact that you were interested not only in the whole event of the fireflies which is so pretty but you also took the time to investigated a little bit about this amazing organisms. Keep doing it!

¡Wow! Ni idea de que podíamos ver luciérnagas en México. Today I learned something new. Saludos Mike.
Beautiful
I couldn't believe the show!
This year here in south Texas we had a lot of them 😍the last time I saw so many was in the late 70's normally we just see one or two
Great video
I'm lucky enough to have this show in my backyard in Oklahoma all June. It's a beautiful show.
MY BROTHER SHARED THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO TO ME EARLIER!! GOD BLESS YOU FOR FILMING THIS STUNNING PLACE!! I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT!! THANK YOU!!❤❤❤
Mike, that was beautiful! I really enjoy the way you give a whole background history on your vlogs. Then your face lights up with wonder when you are witnessing what you just described. There really are no words needed to describe the beautiful scene you just captured for us to watch with you. Dude AWESOME. Glad I found your channel. This Life worth living. Peace out. Kick the Grind.
This is really amazing and worth to visit. Thanks for sharing Mike.
It really is special!
i just want to thank you for this video first of all because i have searched for a video on this phenomena for years i have found nothing until now ...i have tried to describe this to others with much dismay i would fail miserably to describe this magical event to others ....with the advancement of our technology in photography i couldn't figure out why this hadn't been done yet only to find that this is not a normal occurrence n nature in fact it is a rare event...i had the privilege of witnessing such an event when i was in my teens in the 80s and have not ever been able to depict this enigmatic dance of the fireflies ....i hope to see more of this in the future but thank you so much for this beautiful footage you have truly captured the essence of this event
You are real and love your soul because you do what you do with love and you share it with us. I love your videos
Mike great vídeo. Saludos desde el bello Tlaxcala. Es una gran experiencia visitar el santuario de las luciérnagas.
