Time for Crepuscular Bioluminescence...

...and a $20 phrase to describe it. "Crepuscular" meaning "active at twilight," and "bioluminescent" meaning "what firefly butts do." Tonight was the first firefly sighting of the summer. Sigh. Firefly season gives Marmota Watch a run for its money.

Clearly you get more of them, but on only one occasion in my life have I seen fireflies.
This was on the South Downs, Sussex, in the United Kingdom.

Now, living about 250 miles from there, if I relied on Crepuscular Bioluminescence as my indicator for Summer, I'd be waiting a long time ....
