Why must fireflies die so young?

This is lovely. Thank you.

The other night I was sitting outside on my deck a little after it got dark, enjoying the night air and the solar lights in the backyard, and then something WHAPPED me real hard in the side of the head and I look over and its a goddamn firefly and it woozily flies off and starts puffing and glowing

I agree yk, fireflies didn’t have to exist, but it’s nice to have them around

When I was a kid we used to capture shadowflies in jars and use them as sunglasses.

I grew up in an area that has so many fireflies, you can literally walk aroun and see on an overcast night, but moved to a place that has none. I took for granted how special it was to be able to enjoy that experience for most of my life. This is touching.

I grew up with fireflies, but we don't have them where I live now. I hope you get a shot, they are something.

XKCD's humorous observations are what make it great. The sentimental observations like this though are what make me really love it. And I think that's the most beautiful panel you've ever done, awed at how far you pushed the artstyle.

This is my favorite one 🥰

There’s a tucked away spot in my nightly run that has a delightful overabundance of fireflies. It’s like entering a magical fairyland every time. Indescribably breathtaking. ✨

They are so very magical.
