Learned they really are not flies. They are beetles.
I probably wouldn't have chased them as a kid knowing this. I hate beetles.

Anybody have fireflies in their backyard?

Post of the year nominee. Drives me nuts when people say "fireflies". Almost as bad as "soda".

I like when they hit the windshield on the highway. Shit glows for a good 10 seconds

Only pfhags and ND fans say "pop" because to mostly everyone "soda" is correct.
As for fireflies or lightning bugs...........both work for me.

When I hear "fireflies" I think of this, and that pisses me off.

Lightning bugs. Please.
