When I was a kid we had lots of fireflies. I remember catching them in a jar and watching them blink. But I never saw the detail that's in these amazing photographs. They are spectacular!I think I'd always been told they blinked to find each other, but this book makes it clear the complexity and communication system of their little lights is far more than just 'seeing' each other. I had no idea there were so many different fireflies and so many different light patterns. It was great to learn so much about them.The author's own story of how fireflies inspired her to rethink her design process, and her suggestion to look at your own life for ways to use the firefly ideas she had suggested got me to thinking about my own life.I was actually quite surprised that right away I spotted a useful way of looking at a situation I'd been wrestling with, and making my peace with it.Great little read!
