Wow,
Just sat outside on the balcony watching the world go by and the olive grove next to our house is alight with fireflies. What an amazing spectacle. Surely don't see anything this wondrous in the UK. Back out again now just to watch them.
 I just love to see them!!! |

Hi Frilly,
Don't think my little camera is up to that. Would be lovely if you could photograph them, but sadly, I don't have the know how of how to do that!!!

Hi Frilly,
You may do as when my brother Phil and his wife Gill came over in June they saw some. Just need to be out of areas with light pollution. I suppose it also depends on the weather, but at the moment they are amazing. Sorry, going to go outside again to watch them!

Hi,
Just sat outside again and my garden and the olive grove next door are alight with fireflies. What an absolute phenomenon of nature. Truly an amazing site. I am well happy!!!

OK, silly question I know, but do the firelies flash with different colours? I seem to be seeing some with orange/yellow flashes and some with green. I know, should have gone to Specsavers!!!

Fireflies are mainly about during the month of May but as we have seen, some have appeared in the last week of April. They are also sometimes around during the first week of June, but I don't think they have been any later..

Oooh no not the wasps!!! I wish I could bottle the fireflies though - they are truly amazing. Allan you will have to visit one May to witness the display of lights for yourself.

Hi,
Yes you will, they are still going strong at the moment. Don't have a light on outside so can really see them. Amazing!!!

Mrs M I really have thought about an early jaunt or even end of season jaunt to Corfu, just need to put it into practice, the other half is away to Spain in a few weeks, should of told her to take her mam to Corfu instead, in fact she wouldve if the Three Brothers was a available, it sounds just as good before and after, fire flies & all

They really are a magical sight Allan and one not to be missed. Even though we have visited a few times in May I have not seen such a gathering of them until last year. Just wish I could bring them home and stick them in my garden!!! You should give visiting in May a try though then you can experience the delight for yourself
