In Chicago, we've been wondering where the lightning bugs have gone. When I was a child in Ohio in the 1950s we used to drive out into the country to see clouds of them lifting off the fields as the last glimmers of the summer sun faded. When we moved to Chicago 30 years ago our son caught them in the backyard, in the middle of the city. I don't know if my granddaughters will grow up chasing after them, there seem to be so few that come out now.
