Lightning bugs, also known as fireflies are natures' fireworks. They are
known for their conspicuous use of bioluminescence during twilight.
Each year in late spring a natural migration of lightning bugs occurs,
where thousands upon thousands of them travel together. They light in
synchonisity and it is a wonder to behold. The best place to witness
this magnificent event is in the Smoky Mountains, Kentucky USA.
As this is a popular event, and the park has limited available spots,
each year a lottery is held to gain access. You may only enter the
lottery once per year, and if you are selected you will be granted a
pass to see the amazing synchronous lightning bugs in the Smoky
Mountains.
