Thank you to our Firefly volunteer team and to internationally renowned author and firefly researcher, Lynn F. Faust who dropped by to visit Armand Bayou’s firefly habitats in January. This was truly a golden opportunity for the firefly team to learn from the best! Faust refers to her fellow firefly enthusiasts as sparks, but she really is the catalyst that generates the interest and concern for these bioluminescent insects. She remarked on the beauty and diversity of ABNC’s ecosystems! Currently, five species have been identified on site using Faust’s field guide, but she suggested that more would most likely be identified as the research progressed. Faust spent the entire day and evening at Armand walking the trails with Mary Dobberstine, Alyssa Goforth, Leda Parker and staff member Wren Bradley. #thankyou #thankfulthursday #fireflies
