Glad I'm not the only one raised to say lightning bugs instead of fireflies

In Europe we very very rarely have fireflies but to my knowledge they are a slightly more green tint. (The American ones look more yellow to me)

So are they lighting bugs or lightning bugs? This has to be clarified.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

They have a lot of regional names. :)

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Fair point.

Ah I love lightning bugs! My backyard will be beautiful in a few weeks 💛

I am fairly certain that they are merely holding the eye of Sauron
