They are going by the way of the Dinosaurs , 20 + years ago they would light up the warm summer nights , Now its rare if i see even one or two......Bats also are gone...And it wasn't that long ago when you would hear the croaking of hundreds of Bull Frogs around the lake, Now its just a few lonely frogs calling out to each other..Originally Posted by Trail Blazer

Yup, Bob hit it on the head. There around , but with climate change comes with adapting to that change.
All I can say is for some reason the west to east weather has dropped to the south west to south east. And the north east is getting a lot of south to north stuff. Seems to be a fine line from Jurzy north
The Atlantic Ocean is still warm , meaning Nor Easters and more than usual tropical storms are likely to hit here with this pattern , not to mention the abundance of tic’s and mosquitoes.

We still have a lot of tree frogs making the night noisy. And at some point crickets go crazy. Seemly multiplying by the millions. Could really do without them and let the lightning bug multiply again.They are going by the way of the Dinosaurs , 20 + years ago they would light up the warm summer nights , Now its rare if i see even one or two......Bats also are gone...And it wasn't that long ago when you would hear the croaking of hundreds of Bull Frogs around the lake, Now its just a few lonely frogs calling out to each other..
The only reason some people are still alive is it's illegal to shoot them.

We probably killed them all off. We used to squeeze the abdomen across our finger making it look like gold ring in the dark. Dumb wasn't it!!!

We called em Lightnin Bugs in Cincinnati in the 50's but only see a few in Ocala since we retired here 9 yrs. ago.

Beware of liberals posing as Americans.
I don't see many lightnin bugs around my place. All that fogging they used to do years ago, in the city really didn't help the species. I wish the skeeters would take the hint & die off.
I saw my first Firefly in CT about 10 years ago. Coming from Alaska it was novel. It looked like the bug in the OP. I saw my first light'ning bug (glow worm) this past summer in OH. Quite different looking except for the glow. Based on my limited experience, that picture is a Firefly.
