We are so excited to host this very special informational session on Firefly conservation. Bring a dish to share at the community potluck, or just yourselves!
(bringing your own silverware, dish, cup is a great way to reduce landfill waste)
Presentation begins at 4:30. Invite a friend and learn about the lifecycle of fireflies, why they flash, common species in South Carolina, and steps we can all take to help ensure fireflies continue to light up the night sky.
