Love the fireflies too. I really miss them. THey do not hang around the Rocky MOuntain zone

The peepers start early here, 9usually the end of March, depending on snow amounts and temps), but the fireflies are not until mid-June, July, but they still represent warmth for me, and the tree frogs are one of my favorite things on the plant ... such a hauntingly beautiful song of life and hope, and yet so small you can't see them unless you look VERY closely - diminutive, and few creatures have such a sweet song! :-) <3 (There's one who lives on a plant by my sliding glass doors to the deck ... I put him on my thumbnail and he was small enough to not cover it all!

Thank you very much, Kim! I live in Maine, and the "peepers" are one of our most enchanting and beautiful signs of spring ... they're so tiny, but what an aria! :-) <3
