Peggy, I went to one of the fabric stores yesterday, and they were out of this thread. I guess everyone is trying to do Yoriko's fireflies. Haha!! H&*.
I probably beat you to it!!! Can't wait to try it.

love it!
Actually, yes! The 'glow worm' is the female firefly. She stays in one place and glows, the males fly around and answer with their flashes, they find each other, and Voila! baby lightning bugs! Hee hee hee
Thanks Marji, I did not know this. All of you are great. H&*.

The real fireflies or Yoriko's ones?

For the real ones, it's a chemical they can control. Ever heard of a glow worm? Same thing. It IS used in finding a mate. For the stitched one, I like the glow in the dark thread or metallic.

Gerry, I have seen the fireflies, however, I have never seen the glow worms. Where are they located? H&*.
On the ground, and sometimes on low leaves and stems, you need to look hard for them. M

U r all funny!!. Gerryb u r right on the money.I caught fireflies all my young yrs. we caught them n fruit jars on summer nights but after we had so many we would let them go. Fun for kids n the south on hot summer nights.

You all make me smile too! I think we all caught fireflies in jars and let them go later when we were kids, so fun! Now I just watch them :)
We did too!!
I remember seeing them when I was in the south, I thought they were fascinating. H&*.

There is an enzyme call LUCIFERASE that makes fireflies glow. No Cuties, it is not the bug blushing cause some guy bug said something Cute to her but it is used to attract the other species.

Aren't there any fireflies in Northern California? Really? That's so sad! Mine are all out now, lighting up the night. Hugs, Marji
Daisy, Now you will have to find out where they are, and take a vacation just to see the fireflies. In the mean time look at Yoriko's site. H&*.
You can come to my house...
Can I come too? :)
