France has a lot to offer when it comes to Nature. In the South, there are big forests untouched by humans, where incredible plants, animal and creatures live. Some are very elusive, and some only present during a short period of the year. That’s the case for these fireflies and glowworms. These magical insects only appear for a few weeks in the summer (July – August) to mate.
The females are the only ones to make light. They do it to attract males who fly in search for them. Their colors can be different, and some emit more light then others.
I think we can all agree these creatures are Magical!

I got here after seeing a couple of fireflies after sunset on Corfu (early June), 2019. Longer ago saw some in south of France, glowing greener and longer, as in the video. Great experience!
