Blue Ghost Fireflies,
I have been photographing Blue Ghost fireflies for more than a week in North Carolina and Tennessee. In this photo from last year I have seen true peak, with hundreds of fireflies, which was very mesmerizing, almost dizzying. So much movement in almost total darkness. Absolutely incredible. Blue Ghost fireflies are unique species that doesn’t blink and stays lit for many seconds or even more than a minute. This photo is called Blue Ghost Warriors, since in some cultures they believe that fireflies are souls of the deceased.
