Late May through Early June Congaree National Park: Fireflies

I have missed it this year, but I saw this phenomenon as a child from the upper window of my grandparent's house in North Wales, PA, a field of thousands of fireflies pulsing their lights on and off in synchronicity as night falls.  My daughter in law, Colleen, says that she commonly saw this firefly show at her family's farm in the Mississippi Delta.

It can be seen this time of year at the Congaree National Park just a few miles Southeast of Columbia.

The firefly, a symbol of hope in darkness.
