What Do You Know about Fireflies (Lightning Bugs)???

The fireflies are out in full force in the fields all around Lebanon. But what do you actually KNOW about fireflies (aka lightning bugs)??

A few interesting facts from the volumes at the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, DC.

1) Fireflies don't sting. You can catch them in your hand and look closely at them without worrying about being stung, bit or slimed. If you put them in a jar, make sure they have air to breathe and let them go after a day or so.
2.) They can't see blue. So paint blue fingernail polish on a flashlight to see them better without bothering them.
3.) Adult males are usually in the air while females are usually on the ground. The males use “bioluminescence” to attract the females.
4.) Fireflies are not really flies. They are beetles.
5.) New Hampshire has 20 species of fireflies in the air at this time of year. There are more than 2,000 firefly species in the world.
6.) Some species, including those in the Smoky Mountains, and can synchronize their flashes.
7.) Firefly light can be yellow, green or orange.
8.) Firefly larvae may glow, even some that live underground or under water. They use the light to communicate to predators that they aren’t tasty.
9.) Larvae are carnivorous and particularly enjoy snails. Adult fireflies usually live off of nectar and pollen, but some don’t feed at all.
10.) A few firefly species are also carnivorous as adults. They don’t eat snails, though—they eat fireflies of other genera.
10.) A chemical reaction within the firefly’s light organ produces the light—oxygen combines with calcium, adenosine triphosphate (ATP—the energy-carrying molecule of all cells) and a chemical called luciferin, when an enzyme called luciferase is present.
11) Light pollution and habitat destruction may be a factor in the decline of the firefly.
12) The term "glow worm" is another name for some firefly larvae.

Whatever the bug, they're magical and a Summertime essential when visiting local campgrounds or farms. There's nothing like sleeping in a sweet smelling hayloft, lit only by mason jars filled with laminating fireflies!!

Monadnock State Park in NH Offers Free Camping in Exchange for Volunteer Work Repairing Trails.

 

 

 

So many of us have fond memories of climbing Mount Monadnock trails.

My first climb was when I was in Girl Scouts, but I've been many times since.

Nowadays it's always a delight to see photos of my teen and young adult nieces, nephews and grandchildren smiling, windblown and weary from the summit.

The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and New Hampshire State Parks are hosting the Tenth Annual Monadnock Trails Week from July 17 to July 21.

Volunteers are invited to join conservation professionals and trail maintainers to help restore degraded hiking trails on Mount Monadnock.
This year’s projects include constructing new stone stairs on the Pumpelly Trail, upgrading erosion control areas on the White Dot Trail, and adding footbridges and drainage on the Gilson Pond Loop and Birchtoft Trail.
Volunteers will enjoy free camping at the Monadnock State Park campground.
Mount Monadnock is one of the most-climbed mountains in the western hemisphere.
The State park, which has property in the towns of Jaffrey, Marlborough, Troy, and Dublin over boasts over 4,000 well maintained acres on both Mount Monadnock and Gap Mountain.
Carrie Deegan organizes the volunteer event each year, often thanking the volunteers for their efforts and saying that volunteers make a great difference in the park, but especially on the more heavily-traveled trails on the mountain.
This year will mark the 10th Anniversary of "Trails Week" in the State Park.
"Trails Week" can be a wonderful learning experience for those who are interested in trail or road construction or engineering. All volunteers are sure to come away with new knowledge an the chance to say that they helped to maintain some of the most heavily traveled and beloved trails in the State of New Hampshire.
Young Adults between the ages of 13 and 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Volunteer work of this type is not recommended for children under the age of 13.

For More Information on Volunteering for ONE day, All FIVE days, or any number of days, please contact  Carrie Deegan at cdeegan@forestsociety.org or call 603-224-9945.
