I saw my first live firefly last night. It was really cool. I had always imagined that the light they blinked would be greenish yellow, like that glow-in-the-dark paint. But it is not — it is bright fire orange yellow.

For the short while that they were blinking their lights, it was like Christmas outside. The lawn, the trees, the bushes were sparkling like little fairies were dancing on them. It was a totally cool experience.
