From the damage on its wing coverings, it looks like this firefly has had a hard go of it in its brief adult existence. Fireflies do not eat and live for about two weeks before starving to death. In that time, they have one item on the to-do list -- ensure the next generation of fireflies.
Another photography session in near darkness where we both tried to use our flashes to best effect.
