Fireflies are emerging across Northeast Kingdom fields and meadows this week, offering one of the region's most accessible wildlife spectacles. The glowing insects appear at dusk in late June, requiring nothing more than an evening walk to observe.
The natural display highlights the role of insects in local ecosystems. A related article in North Star Monthly explores why the NEK needs insects and how residents can overcome fear of them.
