The arrival of fireflies has always represented summer to me. They've meant barbeques. They meant fireworks. They meant being a kid.
I’ve heard from so many people about the memories they have connected to lightening bugs. Exploring the woods with grandparents who have long passed. 4th of July parties with their friends. A first kiss. A break up. Family camping trips.
I don’t know what it is about lightning bugs – the state insect of Pennsylvania – but people have a connection to them. Cultures around the world have stories and myths surrounding these stunning creatures.
So I invite you on this episode, to think about your own connection with lightning bugs.
What comes to your mind when you picture them? Where does it bring you back to? When are you transported to?
On this episode, I speak with Dr. Sarah Lower. Dr. Lower is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Bucknell University.
