Fireflies In The Coffee

I don’t know if it’s the sudden influx of heat and humidity, global warming or a set of biological coincidences, but our backyard is a miniature galaxy of fireflies in the early evening hours these past few days. I’ve never seen so many before - it’s quite a show.

Tonight we had company for dinner. Afterwards I served coffee. Somehow a firefly got in the house and dive bombed into Pauls cup. I fished it out and set it free. It was flashing rapidly as it flew away, freshly caffeinated.
