My family discovered recently that we have synchronous fireflies in our "back 40" (not really 40 acres, but a nice chunk of undeveloped land). They only go for a few weeks, but when they do, it's like someone threw Christmas tree lights all over the forest floor. Thousands of lights blinking at the exact same millisecond. Utterly amazing that such tiny organisms can synchronize over such a large area. We're doing our part to try to keep it habitable for them.
