Wow. You are right that different fireflies stir different feelings. A truly amazing part of Creation!
great footage. Magical!
Stunning photography by Radim Schreiber!
Thank you!
This is absolutely wonderful! I didn't know what the larva looked like. I love the education and then the beautiful time with them and the outdoor noises. I felt like I was at home! Thank you!
Fireflies flowing like the river.
Stunning beauty!! Thanks so much guys for doing this and sharing!
I wish I was a glow worm,
A glow worm's never glum.
'Cos how can you be grumpy
When the sun shines out your bum!
I registered for the firefly lottery at Elkmont I live in Knoxville and have promised myself I’d see this before I die , I didn’t get chosen this time but Loved this information and the little bit I got to see of them; so I projected it on my 65 inch Tv and it was the next best thing to bring there ! Sorta!
Thank you for the show!
Was able to put this on the projector at home and it is mind blowing! Your work is incredible!
That's an awesome idea! So glad you enjoyed the show!
This is too awesome.
This video helps you understand the fireflies that live in America.
I live in Japan. I would love to go there someday.

8th grade science fair project was on Fireflies. Then, having learned to recognize them, was amazed to see some "green lights" high in the sky (not fireflies)!
Seeing a lightning bug marks the start of summer. Always mark the calendar when you first spot the fireflies. June 6, 2021 Indiana
Awesome Radim. I bellieve it starts in 20 hours time...and the timing is great. It'll be morning in Malaysia.
Looking forward to see you here!
The blue ridge parkway had huge fire fly, lightning, grub bug show in the late 90’s. I haven’t returned since then
Love this, thank you....also interesting tap sounds in background, Sasquatch perhaps? 😳😆
That might have been a whippoorwill (bird). It was very persistent!

One has to convince the insects native to the smokies that they are not above you on the food chain, you are not food or in their habitat for battle. A family friend was caught smoking a cigarette outside his vehicle while him and his wife stopped to watch the intricate dance of the glowing creatures. Both got bit all over for bring the the tobacco industry with them
Does anyone have any Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest updates?
voh.fyi
