Have you spotted the first of the season?

Did you know there are over 2,000 species of fireflies -- each with its own unique language of light?

The most common species in the U.S. is the Photinus pyralis or “Big Dipper” firefly. It starts flashing at dusk in a yellow-green J-shaped pattern around every 6 seconds.

What flashes have you seen?

Thanks New York WILD Film Festival , the team, and founder Nancy Rosenthal for 10 inspiring years!

You’ve ignited curiosity about our planet, you’ve inspired collaborations to share stories and save species, and you’ve sparked change...one inspiring documentary at a time.

I’ve attended every year since the beginning, and feel honored to have had four films in the festival over the years.

Though you may be ending in this form, I look forward to your next chapter of sharing films and champions of the planet, wherever that path may lead!
