A Gatlinburg Must See: Synchronized Fireflies!
One of only two spots in the world to view synchronized fireflies is in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just outside of Gatlinburg, TN. One of my favorite memories as a kid is running around chasing fireflies on a warm summer evening. My brother and I would capture fireflies, put them in a mason jar, and poke holes in the lid. Our plan was to put them in our room to have as a natural night light. Unfortunately their glow didn’t last long once in captivity, and we usually set them free.
