Fireflies, also called lightning bugs, are one of nature’s delightful night artists, lighting up the sky at twilight, and showing us the magic of their light production.

Photographer Radim Schreiber is a master at capturing the fireflies that inhabit the forest of the American south, like Tennessee and North Carolina.  His patience at capturing long exposure shots create a lit-up blanket of glowing streaks, as the fireflies dance through the night air.
