The Firefly Show

Lightning bugs are one of the quintessential beacons of summertime. But what is all that flashing about? We’ll first spend some time inside discussing the science behind the glow, and then follow-up by exploring the trail to find fireflies in BEEC’s firefly meadows.
Learn how you can join a national network of community scientists by observing fireflies in your own backyard and helping scientists map our country’s firefly population. We will practice identifying flash patterns in the field, and enjoy the magic. Rain date, Sunday June 30.
