Fireflies or Lightning Bugs

ByKris Thomas

Fireflies or Lightning bugs, what do you know them as? Did you know that approximately 40 percent of 10,000 Americans surveyed said they call them both?
They are called Fireflies by 30.4 percent while 29.1 percent call them lightning bugs. North and central Alabamians are more likely to use lightning bug while south Alabama is more likely to use call them both.
