Sharla Shults's insight:
I recommend that anyone who posts to the web, whether content or pictures, needs to read this article. It is better to know what is ahead and possible precautions than be sorry later.

Firefly Watch wishes you all a happy new year and a warm welcome to our sixth year of counting and learning about fireflies. In our first five years, 3,644 volunteers from 41 US states and 6 Canadian provinces have participated in the project. Thanks to all of you, Firefly Watch has been a greater success than we could have ever imagined.
AQUATIC FIREFLIES Even though fireflies are generally found near moist environments, they are not considered aquatic insects. However, the larvae of some firefly species have adopted an aquatic or semi-aquatic lifestyle. These larvae live either in the water, breathing the air trapped between the leaves of water plants, or on aquatic or semi-aquatic plants, hunting for snails.

I miss the fireflies. I few years ago, I noticed that there were very few fireflies anymore. There used to be millions lighting up the evening. So I started looking around and discovered I was right. The fireflies are in trouble. I've been following them ever since. This is the Firefly Watch newsletter from the Museum of Science. You can join too. Delete the scoop?

If you value your work and treasure your freedom, you should take a look. This isn't something that's happening far away. It will ultimately affect all of us and end the free internet as we know it. This is not some sinister cabal. It's good old corporate greed. There's a huge amount of money to be made from mining the internet; we are in the way. The only thing we have going for us is our numbers. If we hang together and we can make enough noise to at least get a hearing. Otherwise, we'll disappear without a trace and we'll be remembing this as "the good old days," when cyber space was free.
A MUST READ!
