Smokies non-profit to hold virtual firefly event on YouTube
GATLINBURG, Tenn. – The annual lottery to see the synchronous fireflies of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park may be cancelled this year due to the coronavirus, but a Smokies-based non-profit will be offering a virtual firefly event.
Discover Life in America is collaborating with firefly photographer Radim Schreiber, according to a news release from the non-profit. Their event will include a short presentation about fireflies followed by footage of synchronous fireflies, blue ghost fireflies and other firefly species native to the Smokies region.
It will take place on Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern on the Discover Life in America YouTube channel.
The event is free, although the group is suggesting a $5 donation.
