Fireflies in the gloaming

[Anonymous]

I go camping in the Appalachian mountains every year in the summer and one of the biggest things I look forward to is seeing both stars and lightning bugs in the unpolluted sky.

For some reason this is the first year I've noticed a ton of fireflies in our yard. They might have always been there and I only noticed this year.

I was out running an errand after dark the other night and just sat in my car soaking them in for 5 min before heading inside (so I wouldn't get eaten alive by mosquitoes!). Also, when googling fireflies and gloaming I got an IMDB listing for a $2K (e.g. low budget) movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6570362/ -- not sure if it's available to see, but now I'm curious!

OP here. So amused by this movie title!

Thanks for this lovely diversion, OP! As the summer starts to sizzle, I’ll silently chant “fireflies in the glooming” as my mantra of serenity.

There is an Irish music group named gloaming and one of the singers is named Larla.
