Lightning bug’s range is pretty wide (they can be found on every continent except Antarctica), but there are much less of them than there use to be.

As a child in the 90s, I would see so many of them flickering. But now, like many other bugs, they are dying off.

I’ve never seen one, though a quick online search shows that some species of firefly do exist in my small country. I guess I’ve just never been out in the right kind of nature at night.

I’ve seen them hundreds of times in movies and TV shows though, they’re real common in American media.
