    They came up as I was talking to my daughter and she said "whats that?"

    I remember as a kid they would be a crap load in my grandma's backyard, .We would catch as many as we could and throw them in a jar, or smear them on our shirts for the glow. i know it's gross but as a kid I didn't care. I never see them anymore at my grandmas house or anywhere.

    I did the same as kid and got blisters from rubbing them on my bare skin. I rarely see them at all since I've moved down here. When I lived in Ohio we would see them by the hundreds if not thousands.

    Yep, when I was a kid the fireflies and Breckenridge Park were a major part of our San Antonio vacations. Lived here 6 years now and I don't think I've seen one

    Now that you mention it I use to see fireflies all the time in my backyard. Now there's nothing. I think I murdered to many when I was a kid.

    Was talking about this just the other day with someone-- there were tons here when I was a kid.

    I have read that all the development has lessened their numbers. Also, I read a claim that they use the light to attract each other, and so you don't see them in developed areas with outside lighting.

    Fire flies are cool. We have them a lot in Macedonia. Although not so much as before. It seems everywhere it is decreasing.

    We get fireflies occasionally here in Austin, and I always remember seeing them at my grandmothers in Halletsville, Tx, but I can't remember the last time I saw them in San Antonio.

    That's only because you are too busy inside your apartment jacking off to gay porn. Go outside every once in a while.

    nothing more fun than smearing glow in the dark fecal matter all over your clothes.

    yay
