NATURE Seems we are the last generation to witness fireflies. When last do you see them?

I was thinking about these bugs few days ago and I struggle to remember when last I saw them.

Half of my apartment back patio is dirt and this year mint decided to move in and I let it because I never go out there and keep the blinds closed everyday due to it being a west facing window and I don’t have ac. Was worried for a while where all the bees had gone that I always have to duck to avoid when leaving out my front door past the flowering trees….. turns out they’re all out on my back patio thriving with all the flowering mint!
