You won’t want to miss this!
One of Mother Nature’s most spectacular shows is going virtual.
After this year’s lottery to see the synchronous fireflies of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was canceled due the coronavirus pandemic, a local nonprofit is stepping up to host the annual event virtually.
Discover Life in America (DLiA) is collaborating with firefly photographer Radim Schreiber to present a Virtual Fireflies Event on Monday, June 1 at 8 pm ET on YouTube.
The event will include a short presentation about fireflies followed by footage of the glittering show courtesy of Schreiber.
According to a news release, “the display will include the world-famous synchronous fireflies (Photinus carolinus), as well as blue ghosts (Phausis reticulata) and other firefly species native to the Smokies region, all set to relaxing sounds of nature.”
