Fireflies attracted by green laser

[rog8811]

Just an idea on the blu ray/bats thing....
For fly zappers in restaraunts they use UV light to attract the bugs, as the blu ray is in the uv zone maybe you are getting a concentration of midges and mosquitos in and around the beam, the bats are just taking advantage of an easy food source.

Yeah, rog now that you mention it, I do think that this is occurring, because the bat flies around the beam don't see exactly what he is doing, but your explanation does seem logical and is probably what is going on, I can now brag that I feed bats at night :-/ hehe

I've never seen a firefly in person  

Do they really glow as they fly? That must be really cool to see if theres a big swarm of them.

Fireflys live in areas with warm humid summers... eastern US and eastern Canada have fireflys.

Here in Korea only the rural areas have them. When I lived in Japan every July and August you'd see them in the rice fields... In Japanese they are called Hoteru

We get fireflies in Australia?? You have to basically look for them, but go out far enough and you can find them. I notice that with bugs at night. I shine my laser up and notice flashes in the beam

I always thought fireflies lived everywhere. : I never have thought much of them because I've always seen them, but I think I might have to take a video of the fireflies tonight to show you guys that haven't seen them what they look like. In a dark field the fireflies do look pretty cool.
