Oh, and watching the twinkling, light-up bugs that linger in the bushes, on the edge of the woods, or just beyond the creek side. In fact, that might be best done during a sunset porch hang whilst eating a watermelon or fresh apple pie. There could be playing hide and go seek involved (if you were a bad little kid-hiding go get), too. We're not silly. See how it all comes together? That's summertime in the South. Those floating incandescent insects that only come out during a short period in the summer are known by many names - most commonly either lightning bugs or fireflies. Though, we've also heard other creative labels such as firebugs, candle flies, or lamp bugs. Many might remember heading out with a Mason jar or empty soda bottle in hand as a child, hoping to catch one for good luck. Harder than it looks.
