we like to call them "lighting bugs" back here on the east coast ;)

  I'm from NY. We call them fire flies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    And I grew up in NC where we called them lightning bugs. But, I also grew up on the internet.

  We called them "lightning bugs" when I was living in Pennsylvania (as I recall), but since then I've lived in North Carolina and Virginia and now think of them as "fire flies". Maybe it's a north/south thing, too.

    I grew up in Miami and what we called lightning bugs were a beetle with a pair of green glowing dots on the head: https://youtu.be/7MMleTEQoo4 https://youtu.be/7MMleTEQoo4 I now live in NC where the bug is called a firefly and it has a single yellow glow near its tail and looks more like a fly.
