Sorry. I went away for a moment, but I have found me and I am back

I've never seen it myself, but it must be a hwai sight.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Synchrony, concurrent repetitive group flashing, is rare. There are only two known synchronized firefly species in the United States: Photinus carolinus and Phoruis frontalis, and only the males are synchronous. The former is found at Elkmont in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, at Congaree Swamp National Park in South Carolina, in high elevation areas-at least 2,000 feet-in parts of the Carolinas, and in parts of the Appalachian Mountain range, from Virginia to Georgia. The P. frontalis species mostly is found along coastal plain areas, primarily in Georgia.
