About Bugs in the Grass

Kneel down close to a summer lawn and a whole civilization reveals itself. Beetles trundle through the thatch, crickets tune up before dusk, and a ladybug climbs a clover stem like it owns the place. After dark, fireflies pulse their slow gold signals above the meadow, a tiny, unhurried light show that has enchanted people for as long as there have been warm nights to sit out in.
