Last night we saw three fireflies in my friend's backyard in Roermond, in south of the Netherlands. The yard is rather light, even at night. It is close to water, though. Two or three of the bugs were flying around and another one was having a rest (at least, it was lying still). We picked the last one up, put it on the table and shot some pictures of it. We hadn't seen any before and we were quite surprised to find them here in the Netherlands.
