A Buggy Spectacle

The sun dipped down and the porch went dark, which normally means bedtime, but then a tiny yellow light suddenly blinked right in front of my nose! I gasped and tumbled backward against a porch floorboard. Another light sparked up, then three more, hovering just above the ground. Fireflies! I didn't even have to stand up to enjoy the show. I just leaned my back against the bench leg, folded my hands over my round belly, and watched the blinking bugs dance around in the warm night air. Free entertainment that requires zero remote controls—pure bliss!
