  • Best time for fireflies in the woods?

    Question

    When is the best time to see the fire flies [lightening bugs] in the observatory park woods?

    Naturalist's Response

    The best time to see fireflies, sometimes called lightning bugs, is mid-June to mid-July. You can see them in yards and meadows beginning at sunset. Enjoy the show!
