Where in the US are there fireflies? (live in, yard)

[spicymeatball]

They live as far west as Montana, but not west of the Rockies.

I've never seen them in Montana.

I grew up catching them in Ohio.

You see lots of fireflies in Minnesota during the summer — especially on hot and humid nights.

Haha, we used to call them both fireflies and lightnin bugs in Philly.

Downstate NY, you get less of them further north.

Use to see them all the time around here in central south Carolina when I was growing up. But, I haven't seen them in years around here. We use to catch them and put them in a mason jar and punch holes.

Do they have them in Florida?

I remember seeing them when I was a child in Baltimore, MD.

Throughout the South. It's about time for them.
