In my tiny patch of backyard. Fireflies (yay!), bats (oooh!) and a metric ton of mosquitoes.

Hey, you finally saw fireflies!

Umm...is that a pic of one of them?

No, that's me!

And the light is the neighbour's kitchen window, I think. The webcam on the netbook doesn't do well with low light.

Shouldn't that be 'and a metric ton of mosquitoes (itch)'?

And of course, Canadian skeeters have to come in METRIC tons.

Do they come in bags, too?

What, you hadn't seen fireflies before? We call them lightning bugs here, and back in Illinois, too.

Mosquitoes always loved my tender Irish skin, and they like me even better now that I'm on warfarin. Tasty, tasty me. Bah!

I've seen them before, but they're very uncommon in the city. However, they've been making a comeback in recent years, it seems.

I went to college in Chicago, and my roomie was a Puerto Rican who had een born there but moved back to the island when she was about eight.

At eighteen, she had one question: "Do they still make those bugs that light up and fly?"

Yes, dear. They do. :)

I'd be so sad without them. I was so sad without them, the 25 years I lived in apartments.
