Study - Firefly Pond, Georgia No. 1 - 6" x 8"
In early 2024, I was emailed by a landowner a few hours outside of Atlanta, Georgia, asking if I’d be interested in filming one of the rarest firefly species in the world. It’s a species commonly known as the Loopy 5, named for its very distinct flashing pattern (spoiler alert: it involves 5 flashes and a loop) – and at that time, was only known from about four populations in Georgia. I spent three days filming with Allen (the landowner) who took my crew and I to document some of the most phenomenal displays in nature. Allen no longer lives here and the fate of this land - and the fireflies - is uncertain. I knew I needed to preserve my impression of his stunning property, and the habitat those Loopy 5’s call home.
Prints of the final Firefly Pond Day and Night paintings are available.
Stay tuned for the upcoming video on The Brain Scoop.
