Firefly Inside the House / myLot

July 20, 2021 12:04am CST

So, I have to get up early. I was just settling down and it was nice and dark and peaceful, and a firefly was in here. Now I like them--outside, I like them. But I knew I would never sleep with that blinking green bug flying around me. So I had to get up and try to catch it without killing it, so that I could let it go outside. I followed that silly firefly for nearly an hour. He must have known I was going to put him back outside. He hung out mostly on the ceiling....I finally caught him on the ceiling fan. Now I can settle down and go to bed--again! He is outside, hopefully blinking with his friends.

No. That was the decoy. His friends snuck in while you were taking out the decoy.

I actually thought of that! One of my sons had come by earlier to get a book he left here, and I imagine the firefly came inside when he did. Haven't seen anymore in here, so I am hoping there isn't any.

@MarieCoyle I haven't seen a firefly in so long, I would have let him stay inside all night.

@Vikingswest1 I was afraid he would die inside. They are by nature meant to be in the wild, like a bunny or deer or whatever.
