Of course the proper terminology is Lightin' Bugs. :)

    They are pretty! We only have the regular yellow light ones here. When we were kids we would smusch (horrors!) them on our fingers and wear 'em as glowing rings. One time we caught a jar full and let them loose in the house. Mama was not happy...

    Kind of like an enchanted forest. I've never seen any but I guess they don't go
    as far North as Madison Cnty.

      I mentioned to Dixie that if I had been walking in the woods, I would have freaked out. :)
