Insects are more intelligent than larger-brained creatures give them credit for. . .or, at least, it's a different sort of intelligence. Something collective, innate. A hivemind, if you will. In any case, the phenomenon within the cedars this evening was nothing short of extraordinary. What normally was a random assortment of flickers now seemed choreographed, scripted. A natural light show.

The fireflies were mating, and they were not content to do so without razzle-dazzle. Large swaths of them lit up all at once, golden glimmers in the twilight, like stars in a clear velvet sky. They would carry on for several nights, but this night would be most glorious -- the opening ceremonies of the mass event. Any audience they drew would, no doubt, be awestruck by the sight.
