Flash Location:
We have had lighting bugs here for years early to late. Was just reading that they are rare so figured I’d let someone know we have them here all the time it’s warm enough for them. So I checked to see if they are already here, and yep they are. I saw several out in the field low to the ground and way up in the sky. Not as much as we usually see but I guess it’s early. I saw flashing wherever I looked, but not in the usual numbers yet.
