Fireflies

Firefly in Olive Grove, Sorrento, Italy

Fireflies in the Olive groves between Sorrento and Masa Lubrense, Italy

Recently returned from a couple of weeks on the Sorrentine Peninsula. With it being our first visit to Campania we weren’t really sure what to expect in the way of wildlife. On the 2nd night after enjoying some fine, Italian wine whilst sitting out on the hotel balcony we noticed some tiny, bright yellow lights flashing from within the Olive grove adjacent to the pool.

Unfortunately the video doesn’t really do these magical, little insects justice.
