I just went into the woods for a bit over an hour. A few hundred meters in and I a found a brilliant spot. 20-30 fireflies in view all around me all the time. I loved it! As bonus, a bat was hunting over my head for two, three minutes while I watched the many glowing dots. On the return I could even see one or the other firefly over the meadows near the edge of the forest. But clearly, most can be met in the forest. Guess what I will be doing tomorrow evening. :-)

I’m now really looking forward to a night hike soon.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I agree. A night in the forrest, while you are not at danger of being hunted, is surreal and amazing. I still remember the many times I did it as a child (and yes, caught fireflies and put them in a glass jar, and released them the next morning).

You are fortunate to live near the wilderness. I would have to drive for an hour to even get close a little. 😩
