Is this a live event? \n\n\n\nA. No. This event marks the world premiere of a beautiful video created by award-winning firefly photographer and videographer Radim Schreiber (fireflyexperience.org). It does include never-before-seen footage of blue ghost fireflies\, which was recently recorded in the Smokies. Also\, DLiA Science Director Dr. Will Kuhn and Radim Schreiber will be on hand to answer your questions live in the comments. \n\n\n\nQ. Can I still join your in-person firefly event? \n\n\n\nA. Unfortunately\, no. We have long since sold out tickets for our 2021 Fireflies Event at Norton Creek. You can sign up for the waiting list\, but it’s rather long and your chances are pretty slim at this point. You should totally check out our 2022 in-person event though! Tickets go on sale January 2\, 2022. We will posts the dates for that event in mid-June. Thanks for your interest! \n\n\n\nSponsors\n\n\n\nThanks to the following generous sponsors for supporting the 2021 Virtual Fireflies Event and Fireflies Event at Norton Creek! \n\n\n[slideshow_deploy id=’4599′]
