I knew about them but didn't see them well into adulthood. It's underwhelming

Really? I'm a seasoned adult-er, and I still get a little flicker of wonder when i see those lights floating in the field behind my house on summer evenings.

I feel like fireflies have to be pretty perfectly whelming? like on the level of a swarm of pretty butterflies: cool, but not that cool.

I don’t know man, I’ve seen an actual swarm of butterflies (it took days for them to fly through) and it was pretty fucking awesome.

I think it's just because the only idea I had was from cartoons. They don't exist where I'm from.

They are still eery and cool though.

Whelming always goes for the MILFs.
