why has no one mentioned the fire fly's?
Lots at the beach prior to July 1th and lots at Milton over last week.

Cicada's started making noise two days ago at Milton, very limited though.

Alas, I have not been anywhere that has fireflies.  Love them.


I have been hearing cicadas in the city in the past week.

There is a rumour going around that surveillance drones have been deployed that mask their usual drone with a whine that mimics cicadas, as if that somehow makes surveillance more acceptable.  I'm sad to suggest that's the future.  I saw that!

I know fireflies are frequently seen around a patch of woods on the Waterfront Trail in Toronto. Last night, I was there and saw some. But the moon was too bright, and I had to meet with a friend. Sorry, I didn't have any photos or videos.
