I have been sayin for years that the insecticides being sprayed all over these fields around here are killing the little fellers.
I HARDLY see one around the house.
I see them if I camp on the river in a WMA because there are no fields close by. And in the mountains while camping. Again, no fields.

Meaning they don't know, but if they raise more fuss they can get more funding.
cause discovered: it's all Sinclair's fault.

I see less around here.
On a recent trip to Oklahoma and Kansas driving at night, I saw more than I have ever seen in one place along that stretch that night.

It very well could be, I spray talstar and others pretty regular, but I don't just believe what suits me. Of the millions of bugs I kill, I am sure I get some lighting bugs, but I ain't living in a house full of roachs, Zeka skeeters and rats to save them, nor will I trade snakes for them by letting the grass grow two foot high.
We all got a nasty letter from some eco group about the high price of pretty grass. Neighbor said dr oz had a honey bee show on the week before and riled up folks .

Fireflies breed and live in marshy areas, you know, the ones they drain and fill in to make new housing developments.
Short a few fireflies? Can't imagine why.
But quick panic!

I take what ever responsibility I have in it, already explained why it won't matter. As we stand today on this sissy world, everything I do is bad. I spray chemicals, drive gas guzzlers, fish, fly drones, use regular paint, run the Ac, run Ac at a weekender that a staving family could have, own guns and the list goes on, but guess what .............that's all I have to say about that !

Quick run the house and catch some fireflies in a jar with no holes in the lid.
Then put them on the grill.

I have plenty of lightening bugs in my lawn. My anecdotal evidence says the population is just fine.
But watch the fascists on the left seize upon this. They will blame it on climate change, lawn mowers, and the dreaded middle class lifestyle.
