Synchronous Fireflies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 It's almost time for the fireflies! Every June for about two weeks during the mating season, the fireflies in Great Smoky Mountains National Park begin to flash in unison. This phenomenon involves all the male individuals of one species, they are the only species in America whose individuals can synchronize their flashing light patterns. No one is sure why the fireflies flash synchronously.
The dates the fireflies are expected to flash this year are June 5 - 13. The park has set up trolley rides from the Sugarlands Visitor Center to Elkmont for the firefly showing. The Elkmont entrance road will be closed to motor vehicles and pedestrian use every night starting at 5:00 p.m. until midnight. The trolley service, will be the sole transportation mode for visitor access during this period; no private vehicles will be allowed to enter Elkmont. The trolley service will begin picking up visitors from the Sugarlands Visitor Center RV/bus parking area at 7:00 p.m. The trolleys will continually run until the parking area is full or until 9 p.m., whichever comes first. The last trolley to return visitors from Elkmont to the Sugarlands Visitor Center is scheduled at 11 p.m. The cost will be $1 round trip per person as in previous years. |
