  • WHAT IS THE SONG!

    

  • @wee535

    "Pas de deux" from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite"

  • well done!

    For the one person that asks about catching them. First you must be a kid (Sorry grownups thems the rules) with fast legs, and then to make the capture you must use only your hands. No nets or other apparatus can be used as that is bad form.

  • Thanks, c9ari. good advice. I briefly hung out with one on the 4th of july in riverside park. she was a few feet above my head, so I stretched my arm upward, and in a bit she landed (and lit). saw a chubby kid in the park having caught one, him cupping Mr. Firefly and yelling to anyone who would listen, "I caught a dragonfly!" I said, let me see; no, that's a lightning bug -- and he got so scared he repeatedly brushed it away from him. Long live the firefly! Treat him/her gently...

  • When I was a kid in Alabama me and my brother use to catch them in a jar and put them in our bedrooms at night thinking that they would give us a room full of light. It never worked but I can still remember laying there watching them flicker in that jar. There are not as many as they use to be because of the poisons used. So glad there are still a few around..

  • Great background music. Video shows people oblivious to nature, people to busy/absorbed in their lives to notice (the cyclists) and you (the film maker)

    Nice one.

  • This may be as close to seeing real fireflies as I'll get in my life.

    Thanks for putting up such a beautiful video.

  • Wow. Thanks for this. I have always wondered what they really look like and have yet to see any in real life. Probably never will due to where I live. They're beautiful.

  • I have never seen one in my life.

  • When I was visiting my brother in Pennsylvania I got to see my first fire flies. It was so neat, made me wish we had them in California. Wonderful video, and beautiful music, thank you.

  • so amazing view,thanks for the video dude.......

  • what's the name of the song?! i must know,it's amazing!

  • pure magic and thank you for posting this
