My backyard in Louisiana has quite a few of them at night. I see probably 20 - 50 a night back there.

My backyard in Louisiana has zero, zilch, nada. However; when I lived in NYC, I would see them all of the time on riverside.

Lots of fireflies in Central Park as well.

Same in Ottawa, Ontario—only a few times a year, but when they're out, there are loads of them.

Lucky. I'm tempted to drive out to rural Ohio with my nephew to try to find some.
