I do wish to see them again. They were once everywhere here; but it has been years since I have seen even one. Thank you for the memory Karen :)

Yes I think they are happy to fly around glowing showing off lol. While mere humans and other animals wonder around in our plain skins. Thanks for visiting.

During its fleeting lifetime, in its flight it gives a beautiful tiny light and if there are many it is an awesome sight. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
