I moved to Minnesota in the early 2000s and was blown away by all of the fireflies. It was magical. I'll never forget snuggling up with someone and watching the fireflies during a thunder storm.

The decline was unbelievably rapid. The last 6 years I was there I'd maybe see one or two the whole summer. If that.

It's so sad because they're truly wondrous creatures.
