There are fireflies found in California, however they are rarely seen. This is because fireflies only eat snails and California lacks a native snail population and the damp areas where snails live.

There are lightning bugs in California but there are not a lot since their food supply there is limited. They feed on snails in damp habitats and there are not a lot of those places in California.

What is the explanation to this lightning bug phenomenon?

I live on a farm and every night I go out by the woods and watch the stars. Sometime in early June last year, there were like 1,000,000 lightning bugs(NO JOKE) in this one corner of the wood. It was like a 4x4 sp[ot and like 20 feet tall. It was amazing but I cant seem to find an explanation! It wasnt anywhere else on the farm either??? Please cure my curiosity!

When is the best time to watch fireflies in the US?

Well first of all most fireflies are not "lightning bugs" and fly in the day, but if you want to find fireflies night would be easier. In warmer places there are more fireflies, so if you live in a warm place like Florida you might want to try looking for those lightning bugs.
