TW 187 - Snappy Sync Or Synchronous Firefly?

What this episode covers

This week we meet up with Fisheries Creel Clerk, Paul Shaw, to learn about the synchronous firefly and the snappy sync. Paul’s fascination with these critters came about when he visited Elkmont in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. His interest grew and he started researching other areas to see fireflies and learn more about them. We will also get a visit from Gerry Middleton, a retired TDEC consultant and biologist. Gerry will “fly” in unexpectedly and give an interesting demonstration of the mysterious firefly. You don’t want to miss it! All this and so much more right here on Tennessee WildCast. #tnwildlife #itswhatwedo www.tnwildlife.org
