From La Moskitia, the jungle in eastern Honduras.
The indigenous people there have this cool belief about fireflies. Las luciernagas. When they come at the end of summer, everyone opens their windows at night to let them in. The fireflies are the spirits of the dead, back to visit.

Ooh! I love that! I was at a picnic on Saturday, sitting next to this old woman. A little butterfly landed on her shoulder and she said "Well, how lovely of you!"
