Motion activated lights are a curse during firefly light show season. But once the lights time out then one can see the show 3' above the turf. It is a sea of twinkling flashes, big singles bar with everyone displaying the maximum flash.
You just have to suck in a big breath at the sight of this show in the darkness. In the 50s I could run around my small yard in a Cleveland suburb and catch "lightning bugs" easily. The air was loaded with them. But no more. Is it Chem Lawn or just the general nuking of living things in cities and suburbs now. All bark mulch and pavers.
So glad to be 62. So sorry for those who haven't (or won't) get to experience these wonders.
