Perks of Having a Firefly Infestation

Pros
1. They're not spiders.
2. Other people like them.
3. I get lots of practice squishing bugs.
4. Fireflies now fear me (for reals)
5. They don't live indoors for more than 24 hours.

Cons
1. They're bugs.
2. I have found them in truly horrifying places.
3. At any given moment there are at least eight actively having sex on my window
4. I am constantly afraid I will step on one
5. They don't live indoors for more than 24 hours. This is both a pro because it saves me a lot of killing and a con because their little bodies are everywhere waiting for a curious crawler to come along and put them in her mouth.

Things I Never Intended to Learn About Fireflies
1. They don't light up indoors unless you squish them.
2. Mating season is in August
3. They use exactly three sexual positions.

I am currently using the windex method of total firefly annihilation removal.
 HOWEVER, despite firefly issues there are still some serious reasons to live by us. Today we will address the two most important.

#1 Baked Goods.
 #2 A Cute Baby.
 Janie is a little cruiser now but she has trouble getting back down from flat areas.
We hope her little button nose lives on forever.

  1. If you ever need an escape from the fireflies you're free to come hang out here! I killed a few ants this week but we're otherwise bug-free. :)
