Poison Ivy grows in my yard but fortunately, I've never reacted to poison oar or poison Ivy; yet. It is said that repeated exposure can cause an immune reaction, I know that

I've been exposed to it quite alot, but so far, I've never had a reaction to it.

When the fireflies come out this year, I'll try for better pictures and video.

did you just walk into poison ivy for this video?

Go to Firefly FAQ (Google It). This site will answer most your questions about fireflies. Enjoy :-)

I was looking at a field of fireflys and i saw a RED light!

What the hell was this? I thought they only glow greenish yellow, but i could have sworn i saw a red light from one on the ground... i was trippin... couldnt find the bug cause it was too dark and only did it once

some of them have red lights on their heads

Bad news... fireflies are disappearing all over the world, at the same time. Scientists think it's a combination of air pollution and "light" pollution, that is confusion their mating patterns. 70% of all fireflies are now gone, from 20 years ago.

Great job following it. Keep it up!!!

[RonaldVaughan]

Wish it'd been darker,then easier to see

them.

BTW, in Brazil a "railway" beetle glows

both green AND red...Haven't seen those

yet...

@RonaldVaughan Okay I finally made another video - this time I had a Fuji S700

It starts out in the daytime but I went back out last night and got some video of

some crawling around and flashing in the dark !

beautiful show, when a lot of them are together. (sorry about my english) jeje

[Cheiracanthium]

They are really beetles.

[Achatina12]

Good! Nice it would also if you film them at night.

[b0dhran]

Yes, it would be fun to try but I'm relying on

ambient light to provide exposure information to

the automatic camera. Any suggestions on how to

make movies in a manual mode on a Fuji S 700 camera ?

[Achatina12]

Not sure... I hope you find that info.

Sorry that can´t help.

[Achatina12]

cool!

The firefly seems to fly upwards while it is emitting

the yellow-green light. I wonder if this means anything. I was sort of chasing it around with my camera trying to make a macro movie.....
