Lightening bugs? Oops. Probably terrahrist coleoptera doing a dry run. For more lightning bug fun: Sterling’s Luciferase.
Clipped from a local newspaper

"It's easy enough to stand still. The difficulty is to walk without touching the ground."
Geez- I was expecting “….the lightning bugs were wrestled to the ground and after continuing to resist arrest were subdued with a taser device. The suspended officers were not available for comment.”
Hi, stumbled on your blog today, and just wanted to say that I think it’s marvellous. It’s going in my bookmarks, post haste.
This clipping is wonderful. May I ask if it’s from Deering, Maine?
It also reminds me of the Steampunk Jar of Articulated Fireflies. Have you seen it? It’s not to be missed. A lovely blend of the natural and romantic with the mechanical.
M – glad you found me, especially because I now know about Curious Expeditions. Wonderful stuff. The clipping is from Deering, NH – close! I’d seen the jar, but it’s good to have any excuse to look at it again. The knife switch is perfect.
