Of course there are fireflies in Europe.

TIL, and obviously there's a specialist site tracking observations [1]. Thanks, I guess bioluminescent animals are not just a Disney invention! :)

Yes, but during my trips to the United States I was surprised by the abundance of fireflies. I think it was the first time I have seen them in my life.

Yeaah, not like in the US. Ok, granted, I overstated it by saying "no fireflies" but relatively speaking, it's really not comparable. There is a reason that no one publishes firefly viewing season schedules for Europe.

While we're talking about things that will impress Europeans, trees change color in Autumn in Europe, but check out New England Fall Foliage season. Breathtaking.

Not like in the US. Compared to the symphony of light of peak firefly season in the US, there are indeed no fireflies anywhere in Europe. That is a hill I will die on.

I have seen fireflies outside of Norrköping when I was a kid.
