If so, what area do you live in to have them?

I've been in and around and camped just about everywhere in this great state and I can tell you fireflies are few and far between in this neck of the woods. I don't know if it's the altitude or what, but there just aren't that many of them here. Sorry!

No "lightning bugs" in CO! When I lived in Virginia, you would see fields just carpeted with them - so cool! Have you ever squished the fluid out of them and smeared it on your face in the dark? Hilarious!
According to the Firefly Files, most species of the insect are found in warm, humid areas of the world. In the United States, flashing fireflies are usually found east of Kansas. Sightings in the western United States are extremely rare.

I grew up in Miami, but lived all over Florida where there are a lot of fireflies. I haven't really seen all that many, but have seen a few.
Come to think of it, much less in the way of any kind of bugs here.

sorry colorado doesnt have them (im not sure what the guy above me is smoking...) i love watching fireflies so it kinda bums me out.
once when i was about 5 i was in nebraska in the summer and i caught some fireflies. i put them in a jar and had them with me in the car on the dive back to co. needless to say they were pretty dead by the time we got home. i didnt understand why they couldnt live here. :)

I've seen them around Sawhill Ponds near Boulder and when I was a kid in Pueblo we'd see them at the drive in theatre but they're not very common at all.

A few, but not very many. Not at all like the Midwest. It's too dry and high.
