240. Chasing the Blue Ghost Firefly: The Ethereal Science of the Forest Floor

Deep in the woods of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a tiny, haunting light defies everything we know about fireflies. Join us as we sit down with Dr. Jennifer Frick-Ruppert, Professor of Ecology at Brevard College and the preeminent expert on Blue Ghost fireflies. We dive into the mystique of the glow, exploring why these creatures trade flashes for steady blue beams, the tragic vulnerability of the flightless females, and why some experiences in nature are too sacred to be captured on a smartphone camera.
