Question

a case for waawaatesi
by winona laduke
it has to do with a flickering light. i live with the fireflies. they seem to be in abundance now, more than ever. magical sparkles in the night, the edge of the prairie, the edge of the bush. thats where they live.
a lot of people, i realize, dont ever get to see a firefly. scientifically, they are luminescent beetles which fly in the night, lighting up for an instant in a breathtaking spectacle of sparkles in only the darkest of nights.
there are all sorts of fireflies, and they are magical. it turns out, however, that they are threatened by something called light pollution. i never really thought about this. this is how it works: outdoor lights prevent fireflies from seeing each others flashes. thus, they have a hard time finding mates. the other stuff that is a problem for fireflies, is the usual: habitat loss, pesticide use and climate change.
so, maybe this is my case for fireflies forever.
now, this may seem like an inconsequential insect, but they tell us something
