Artificial Fireflies
A subscriber to me Brainpower
Newsletter sent me the following great idea for using artificial
fireflies in parks. I love the thought of having the glittering
lights at night.

Fireflies at the beginning
of rainy season.
In India, just at the advent
of rainy season, and at the sunset, when it is pretty dark out
side, and when rain drizzle has stopped, we can see plenty of
fireflies in the sky – flying low, emitting bright, bluish,
blinking luminous light like twinkle, twinkle little stars. –
How I wonder what you are! – A well known nursery rhyme.
Can't say we see Fireflies
in other Countries!
Fact is, these are appearing
only at the beginning of rainy season.
These are not seen near, and
around garden fountains after rainy season.
The fireflies may be acquiring
solar energy that energizes its tail for sparkling light. They
are harmless. They do not bite.
Possibly it may be their mating
time at the advent of early rains in rainy season only.
IDEA
We can surely make artificial
Fireflies using Light emitting Diodes [LED] flying around in
Park whole night using day time solar energy. It beautifies the
Park Garden.
Notes:
We do have fireflies here in the United States, although I
am not sure how common they are or their range. I do know we
loved to see them flashing their lights on summer nights in Michigan
when I was young. Having artificial fireflies is a great idea,
and even f the flying part is difficult, they could be attached
to various trees and other things in a park.
Thank you Dinkar.
