This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
One of the more annoying things about living in Florida is that we have closely related animals that are nearly identical, but they don't have glow-butts. (At least not down in the bottom half of the state.)
I'll wait for someone from like Lakeland to say they have them.
I traveled around Central Florida quite a bit as a kid, I've never seen the Midwest style fireflies. I have seen a glowy luminescent bug in Florida though, it was like a glow stick green and had a constant light rather than a flash. Super weird looking.
I remember those as a kid! Total tease
