My little brother said the firefly was a “butt-lamp bug,” and honestly, that’s not wrong.
I followed a firefly in the dark, and I’m pretty sure it got annoyed and started blinking, “Go home, human.”
A firefly flew into my room and my cat stared at it like someone had turned on a tiny flying TV.
Our backyard at night looked like a firefly disco party where everyone forgot the music but remembered the lights.
I wondered if fireflies brag to other bugs, like, “Oh, you just crawl? I have built-in headlights.”
At dusk, a child watched a firefly float like a tiny lamp. Another firefly tapped the glass jar softly; a third firefly blinked, a fourth firefly traced her fingers, and a fifth firefly slipped out into warm night air. She laughed, held the jar open, and watched the little lights vanish with a happy sigh.
