    They’re called that in a lot of places.

    And here’s a pretty picture to prove it.

      It makes me happy to see the phrase “lightning bug” used so often here on Lemmy. I grew up calling them lightning bugs, yet I felt like it’s been ages since I heard or saw that word. Then I started coming here, and I see it in every post about this topic. The term brings me back to my childhood, picturing the way my parents’ backyard used to light up every summer evening.
