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.
