    I remember growing up with them regularly in Florida late 70’s/80’s. Don’t remember seeing them much after that. Then delighted to see them when I was living in Pennsylvania 2010-2020. Im in TN now and saw very few here this summer. Was wondering if it’s the heat?

      I was days from signing to check to remove a couple trees in my yard in Pennsylvania when I stepped out back one night and saw dozens of fireflies in them. I hadn’t seen fireflies in years and decided then and there that the trees had to stay.

      Also, a note from other comments, I absolutely never rake my leaves
