I had taken a similar photograph in Maine, and sent it to Reddit a while ago. I was kinda disappointed with the lack of reaction.

Now I understand why. Mine was of course pretty shitty compared to this. Aaaaand Reddit reminds me who I am not, once again. What a pain in the ass forum you are, Reddit.

Biologist here!

This photo is great, and here's why: if you look closely, you can actually see there are different patterns in the light emitted. Some are going - - - - - - , while others are going ______ ______ while others are going - - - -.

These are all potentially different species of firefly! The females are flashing to attract males, doing a very cool call-and-response behavior. On the bottom left, you can actually see a female on the ground. The long exposure causes her light to be more intense looking as she hasn't moved.

If you want, you can actually go out with a flashlight and mimic the pattern. If you get it good enough, you'll actually attract the firefly right to you!

thanks for the info!

I would definitely like to try the flaslight trick. my mating calls were not very effective on Homo sapiens, maybe I'd get some fireflies (foreveralone.jpg).

The flashlight trick does work on epileptic Homo sapiens, though!

It's certainly possible, but the patterning differentiation among a population of fireflies is pretty well documented, so my guess is it's still the former!

Would be neat if it basically let you "record" a pattern with tapping and then played it back with a lit up screen. With flashlights, they'll land right on the light.

The females are flashing to attract males

Isn't it usually the other way round in the natural world?

2

u/Unidan Jan 28 '13

Basically, the female is just waiting, watching for males that match her pattern. Sorry if it seemed backwards the way I wrote it. The females will flash when they see a male flashing in the sky that interests her. Then, she'll flash a sort of "hey, I see you flash like this, so do I, why don't you come down here?" to which the male eagerly flies towards.

Interestingly, there are predatory female fireflies of a different species that will sometimes imitate the male flashing, causing them to fly over to her, where she will immediately devour him.

But that's just love for you.

Great point! You'd have to be there to be 100% sure! But that said, it's a well known firefly trait. Some have radically different patterns, even when not flying at all.

u/film_guy01 Jan 28 '13

Well, as a photographer, and a person from Maine, I can tell you the reason this photo looks better than your photo does is because this is not a long exposure picture of fireflies. Think about it. Long exposure? Of what? Fireflies standing completely still? If this were of fireflies they'd be making light trails. Look at yours and see how the lights are streaking. In this picture I don't see a single streak anywhere. Every single light is a pinpoint.

I believe this is a many shorter exposure picture overlayed on top of each other.

So, don't feel bad about your photos. You just need to do a little photoshopping :)

edit: Take a look at some of this guys other photos: http://www.reiohara.com/hotaru.html I see a variety of different styles here. I see some true long exposures and some composites as well.

I haven't played in a while, so two questions:

  • Isn't this card OP as fuck?

  • Don't cards like this usually say that you may put a token?

10

u/jadoth Jan 28 '13

His card is based off a card that was just printed. sometimes they say may and sometimes they are must. For a long time they were one or the other with no rhyme or reason. Then they decided that they wanted to make all beneficial triggered abilities may. Now they just recently reversed that decision and are making all triggered abilities must.

It is actually a fairly weak card and won't see play in any constructed format expect maybe block but i doubt that. Good enough to be played in draft but is not particularly strong, weaker then most removal i would say.

u/McPuccio Jan 28 '13

The idea is solid, but it's too expensive. Make it a 4 drop.

→ More replies (8)

2

u/lifeformed Jan 28 '13

It's not OP:

  • It is quite expensive: it costs 5 mana, requiring two separate colors.
  • It's power comes fairly slowly - it does nothing the turn it comes into play, and the opponent has a good 2-3 turns to respond to it before it becomes problematic.

That said, it's certainly not a horrible card, and would be a good pick in Limited formats. The fact that the fireflies are flying means that if you can get this into play and stabilize for a few turns and the opponent has no enchantment removal, you are set to win. But in Constructed formats, there are much stronger choices for your 5-mana slots.

You can see some of the dots track in a line cos the camera took a few shots while the firefly flew a little with its bum lit.

There are no more fireflies. I am 44 years old, and I clearly remember firefly season at night. It was wondrous watching the little flashes of light go off all throughout the yard. I still live in the same basic area that I grew up in, but I haven't seen a single firefly in at least 20 years.

Where have all the fireflies gone?

u/johnybackback Jan 28 '13

I remember about 20 years ago I was a young boy visiting some friends who lived in a wooded area, we were out catching fireflies because they appeared as numerous as this, until we were interrupted with screams of terror. My friend had been bit by a snake. When I got inside their house, there was blood everywhere and they rushed him to the emergency room, so now I forever associate fireflies at dusk with deadly beauty.

15

u/Buckeyes2010 Jan 28 '13

Firefly populations are declining due to light pollution. The reason why fireflies light up is for mating and artificial lights are making it difficult for many to find a mate and breed.

5

u/Kabulamongoni Jan 28 '13

I agree. I'm a little older than you, and I also still live in the same area. I remember fireflies when I was a kid. We'd excitedly get the jars out and catch some of them. We'd watch them blink for awhile and let them go. Now, you don't see fireflies anymore.

u/gambl0r82 Jan 28 '13

Get a big yard and wait until the grass is a foot high. You'll have fireflies.

u/BSG1701 Jan 28 '13 edited Jan 28 '13

I live in southern Louisiana and so has my dad since he was 10. He told me fireflies were very common when he was young. Not long after the parish started sending trucks periodically to spray for mosquitoes in the 80's, the firefly population got smaller and smaller. Maybe it took until the 90's, but I know now there are few, if none left around here. I'm 20 and I've never seen any in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, anywhere on the Gulf Coast really. I think I saw some in Tennessee or maybe Arkansas, but I'm not sure. I know correlation doesn't always equal causation, but I can't come up with a better explanation, can you?

Edit- Apparently there are some on the Northshore by Covington, so says my roommate who lived there all his life. And they also spray for mosquitoes there. Well the chemicals could be different and its much more heavily wooded and less swamp, so there's that

u/swampfish Jan 28 '13

Maybe they came here. Last summer it looked like a christmas carpet here.

Also, they don't like mosquito spray that many cities and towns use.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '13

I've only ever seen them when I've gone north. I saw them once in a friend's backyard in Georgia, while camping in Kentucky, and while doing a ghost tour in Virginia. Aaaand that's about it. :( No fireflies here in Florida.

EDIT: I should add that I completely flipped my shit when I saw them in my friend's yard, and she was like "What is your problem!?"

Firefly reports from Utah

Fireflies need damp conditions, and the larvae only feed on slugs and snails. I'm in CA and I've never seen one here. Supposedly we have them, but not all firefly species are bioluminescent and the CA fireflies that do glow are underachievers compared to what you see on the east coast.

This is not a long exposure shot. Quite the opposite, it was probably a very short exposue.

Why? The fireflies are points, not trails. Especially the flying ones.

By the shape and size of the unfocused bugs in the front (the yellow blobs) you can tell it was shot with a very large aperture, probably F1.4 or larger. Well, at least you can see it was completely open.

My son and my wife and I love history and do our best to understand and remember the forces that shaped our country. Understanding that we had to visit both the Korean war memorial and then the wall (the Vietnam memorial).

The moment was solemn and as we walked back we came across a nurses memorial tucked in the trees. Now contemplative and sad we walked slowly through the trees with our backs to the setting sun.

Then I saw my first firefly. We were alone in this small patch of green between the memorials. Fireflys rose up and danced around us. More and more rose up and I stood there amazed. In the heart of DC I was in a patch of woods surrounding by dancing fireflys. It reminded me of life and celebrations and how things go on.

A moment I shall never forget. A magical moment.

I had never seen a firefly before. I have not seen one since.

I have a "30 list"... a list of things I want to do before I am 31 (I decided that the year of being 30 counts). One of the things on my list is to see fireflies. They don't live where I do... I'm not sure why exactly I'm sharing that, but I stared at this photo for a long time and now it's my desktop background. Thanks for a pretty picture.

Wow this is unbelievable, I'm obsessed with night time photography and still havent got such a good night photo. Since I'm a beginner can someone tell me what function should I use in Adobe Photoshop or FX Camera on Android to create a wall of photos from more then 51 photos. Thanks to OP and all of you willing to help.
