Yesterday around 8:30 or 9 p.m. my boyfriend and I took a walk through Sligo Creek Park in Silver Spring/Takoma Park. To our very great surprise, we saw a number of fireflies flashing high in the treetops (none at ground level). Does anyone have any thoughts about this or similar early sightings? I've never considered fireflies a spring phenomenon, but I assume different species are active at different times of year. At any rate, it was not something I expected to see at the beginning of April!
