Fireflies aren’t just summer nostalgia—they’re nature’s little magicians. ✨

Dr. Sara Lewis, the world’s leading “firefly person,” professor emerita at Tufts, and author of Silent Sparks.joins the show.

Sara takes us behind the glow, sharing how fireflies flirt with light signals, the wild (and sometimes sneaky) ways they attract mates, and why our backyards may hold more magic than we realize. From moonlit meadows to cutting-edge conservation, it’s a sparkling journey into the lives of these magical insects—and a reminder that wonder is just a flash away.
