I haven't seen one in years, and I miss them so much.

I'm noticing them more at my house in a small city this Summer more than I have previously. We went camping in the woods over the weekend and I saw a ton of them out there. I was on shrooms but my friends that weren't confirmed they were flashing like crazy.
