Right now I am working for the State of Vermont, mapping natural communities and plants. In some of my spare time I use iNaturalist to map neat things I find during explores. I am originally from southern California. During my time mapping California's vegetation, I got very good at identifying plants from far away, which comes in handy helping identify observations here.

Fireflies Info
Lampyridae is a family of insects in the beetle order Coleoptera. They are winged beetles, and commonly called fireflies or lightning bugs for their conspicuous crepuscular use of bioluminescence to attract mates or prey. Fireflies are capable of producing a "cold light", containing no ultraviolet or infrared rays. This chemically-produced light, emitted from the lower abdomen, may be yellow, green, or pale red in color, and has a wavelength from 510 to 670 nanometers. (From Wikipedia)
