RE: [Geology2] Re: Study finds synchronicity in earthquakes --Fireflies



The added bonus is that you’re in the Smokeys, duh.  Then as a follow-up you can visit the town of Cherokee and wander off to the Blue Ridge Parkway (although that is best during the fall color shift from North to South as the season progresses and school’s are IN session, fewer people).  Been there, got the T shirt to prove it.  Will go back again (and again…).  Well worth the trip even if you’re not local (we went in Nov, slightly too late for fall that year).

All the above (and below) are good candidates for a ‘bucket list’ for anyone that appreciates the outdoors and all it offers.  Another plus, you’re in the Suthrin paht of the land, where mannahs (and insults when needed) are still genteel.  ;-)

The ones at Elkmont in the Smokeys mass in a large clearing and build up to sync not unlike pebbles in a pond which send out circular waves until all in the group sync all at once. I know the whole show is hard to describe but awesome to watch. Other than popularity with the locals I am not sure in ight of this report what the distinction would be. Other than a casual interest, I am not an expert in fireflys to say for sure.
I am unaware if those other populations enjoy the same celebrity that those in the Smokeys do. But if there is a naturalist groups elsewhere wh are hosting visits, I recommend it-- worth a "look-see" at least once in your life. I am unaware if anyone has videos owing that this occurs well after sundown.

IF you are a naturalist and live near the Smokeys then this is a bucket-list "tick mark" you should see once in your life. The Smokey Mountain Heritage Center in Townsend TN in conjunction with the National Park Service sponsors the tours Late May to mid June.
