Both a sparky storm and some fireflies illuminated the final moments of the last chase in the 2024 spring season. Fireflies (short green streaks over and near the road) often react to lightning flashes in kind, and with the back side of a storm complex flinging plenty of electricity overhead, the insects had plenty of motivation. The reddened remnants of light from the northwest horizon, behind me, reflected off the fuzzy mammatus through which the lightning channels crawled. To have found a level, open area for this experience, in northeastern Missouri, was a true treat!
