Yes, you Must add the syncronized lightning bugs at Elkmont Campground in the Smokies. It's amazing!

Let's add one more to the list.......the synchronous firefly display in the Elkmont campground in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It only occurs the middle of June each year. It's remarkable.
