    I’ve never seen one, though a quick online search shows that some species of firefly do exist in my small country. I guess I’ve just never been out in the right kind of nature at night.

    I’ve seen them hundreds of times in movies and TV shows though, they’re real common in American media.

        American fireflies mostly glow while they are flying. The best way to catch one is to snatch it out of the air when it lights up.
