Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for July 12, 2022

Lightning Bug’s can’t eat. They have no mouth to eat with. They only emerge as flying bugs to have a little sex, and make baby bugs, (eggs). Then they die. They will spend several months to a year, (depending on sub-spices), as larvae. And then change into flying lightning bugs for just a few day to few weeks.

One of those fun father-son moments…

Fire Flies or Lightening Bugs – That is the question.

i always wondered if their flashing wasn’t some sort of morse code kinda communication

Why would anybody WANT to speak lightning bug?They serve no useful purpose.

Better to speak bumblebee.

Have not seen a lightning bug here this summer…

Maybe just a very wide smile though…….

Does he speak mosquito? he could help us. . .

Don’t be surprised if Rose says she taught Jimbo how.

You got to hidey-hide

You got to jump and run

You got to hidey-hidey-hide

The old bug is down by the pond

That’s good!!

We are seeing a lot of fireflies around our area now. There were many drifting over the church lawn tonight. Less insecticide = more useful and/or pretty bugs.

Aw, I’m not in favor of this sort of trickery if done too seriously, but with a wink and a nudge, it’s fun to introduce a child to the world of imagination.

What a boring existence. . . bleh
