A firefly??? Are you sure? All the reading I’ve done about fireflies say they don’t occur west of the Rockies. I’ve never understood why that should be true but assumed that was correct as I’ve never seen a firefly out here though I saw them as a kid in Ontario & a young adult in Manitoba. If we really do have fireflies, any idea how to encourage them at my place? I loved seeing them!
Oh, I understand now after looking up fireflies on Bug Guide. Not all have light-producing organs & this one is a diurnal firefly that doesn’t. Too bad. 🙁
