This is my entry for day 6 of the 7 Days Macro-Photography Contest 3 hosted by 
I spotted this firefly in my front garden last summer. I quickly grabbed my camera and hoped that he wouldn't fly off before I could get a photo. He didn't and I got my photo! I had to laugh though because I have never seen a firefly so covered with pollen. Turns out that some fireflies will eat the nectar or pollen of flowers. Looked like this little guy was swimming in it...lol!
I also couldn't help thinking back to when I was many years young and spending hours outside with my siblings catching fireflies or, as we called them back then, lightning bugs and putting them in a jar. The next morning, they would be gone from the jar and my mom would say "they must've gotten loose". I found out (at some point) that they didn't get loose at all but that my mom had been releasing them back outside so they wouldn't die. 💖
