- rendall 4y agoFireflies. There are moose in Europe, but no fireflies.
- liqu0rice 4y agoOf course there are fireflies in Europe.
- unwind 4y agoTIL, and obviously there's a specialist site tracking observations [1]. Thanks, I guess bioluminescent animals are not just a Disney invention! :) [1]: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/fireflies-of-europe https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/fireflies-of-europe
- felixg3 4y agoYes, but during my trips to the United States I was surprised by the abundance of fireflies. I think it was the first time I have seen them in my life.

- rendall 4y agoNot like in the US. Compared to the symphony of light of peak firefly season in the US, there are indeed no fireflies anywhere in Europe. That is a hill I will die on.
- vram22 4y agoI read somewhere recently that Sweden or Norway or both has/have moose.
- parski 4y agoI have seen fireflies outside of Norrköping when I was a kid.
