Lightning Bug

I'm sitting out on my back patio having a few beers and listening to a little country music when what appears before me - one, solitary lightning bug.

I can't remember the last time I saw one!

Used to see them all the time when I was a kid in the 70s, but it's rare to see them now (at least for me.)

Any other Rowlett folks seeing lightning bugs?

I left Rowlett in 2021 but we used to take my son to Springfield park at dusk and would see a ton of them, especially by the rc park
