Saw the oddest thing last night. According to my neighbors, we don't have many lightning bugs here because the fire ants eat the eggs that are layed on the ground. I have seen a lightning bug only once in Texas.
Last night my better half was headed to the store late and she hollered for us to come outside. There were two lightning bugs that we watched for about 15 minutes. But they were definetly different than the Tennessee version. In Big Orange Country they blink slowly and dimly. They sort of glow.
These two buggers blinked very brightly and fast. It looked more like one of those LED bicycle lights. You could see them a long way off and they looked much bigger than the Tennessee version. It would've been breathtaking had there been a field full of them instead of just two. Anybody ever heard about fast blinking, very bright bugs? They were the standard amber green. Anybody who ever lived down here seen lightning bugs at their place?
