Observation Notes:
These fireflies were flashing about 10-30 feet high, so I was unable to capture one to photograph. Photo of single flash was a 6 second exposure showing 4 flashes as it traveled across the edge of our woods. The stacked photo includes 3 images of what I believe to be a similar color and maybe the same pattern.
