There were 5,373 adults interviewed from the South, 3,150 from the Midwest, 3,045 from the West, and 2,564 from the Northeast. Methodology: 14,132 US adults were asked, “What do you most often call the flying insects that emit a light from their abdomen?” Response options: Fireflies, Lightning bugs, Something else, I do not have a name for these insects, Don’t know. Related: One-quarter of Americans would eat a cicada-based food See the data from this YouGov poll and sign up for the Daily newsletter Northeasterners living in the New England region tend to do the reverse: three in five (61%) say fireflies while three in 10 (31%) say lightning bugs. Those in the Middle Atlantic region (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York) tend to say lightning bugs (56%) over fireflies (32%). There are distinct differences within the Northeast region, however. Just one-quarter of people living in these states call them fireflies (23%).Īlong the Northeast, half (50%) say lightning bugs, while nearly two in five (39%) say fireflies. The most likely part of the country to refer to these insects as lightning bugs (65%) are those living in the central part of the South (Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia). About half of Southerners living along the Atlantic coast say lightning bugs (52%) over fireflies (35%). Midwesterners that live on the Western side of the region (37%) are slightly more likely than those on the Eastern side of the region (30%) to refer to them as fireflies, though majorities in both parts of the region tend to say lightning bugs (55% and 62% respectively).Ībout half of Southerners say lightning bugs (52%) over fireflies (36%), though those in the Western part of the region (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana) are split between saying fireflies (44%) and lightning bugs (45%). Those living in the Midwest are the most likely to refer to these flickering fliers as “lighting bugs.” Nearly three in five Midwesterners (59%) call them this, while one-third (33%) say they are fireflies. Within the Western region, those living along the Pacific division (61%) and those in the Mountain region (59%) are equally likely to say fireflies. But what you call these flying insects that emit a light from their abdomen depends on where you live: those in the West and Northeast say fireflies, while everywhere else people tend to call them lightning bugs.Ī YouGov poll of more than 14,000 Americans shows that three in five Westerners (60%) call these insects fireflies, while one-quarter (25%) refer to them as lightning bugs. Insert the “flame“ end of the battery operated tea light into the larger end of the egg.There are a few giveaways of summertime: scorching heat, fireworks, grill-outs, and bright bugs that light up the backyard at night. Using glue, adhere two large moving eye balls to the end of the shorter egg, just below the antenna, and let the glue dry completely.Ĩ. Curve the beaded pipe cleaners into rounded wing shapes.ħ. Bring the pipe cleaner back down into the egg and trim the wire, leaving a 1“ tail. Bring the pipe cleaner back up through the next hole and thread on 13 pony beads. Thread 13 pony beads onto the pipe cleaner then bring it back down through a hole. Thread a full length of pipe cleaner from inside an end hole (from step 2), keeping a 1“ tail inside of the egg half. Repeat for the second set of holes and again for the set of holes on the shorter egg half. Thread a pipe cleaner down into a set of holes from step 1 and back out. Cut (3) 4“ lengths of bright colored pipe cleaner. Thread the pipe cleaner down into the first hole from Step 3 and back out of the second hole. These holes should line up across from the previous holes.Ĥ. This is where the antenna will attach, lining up with the wings of the longer half of the egg. Turn the shorter egg and puncture 2 holes in a line approximately 1/4“ from the edge of the egg. These holes should line up across from previous holes.ģ. Turn the longer egg and puncture four holes in a line, starting approximately 1/4“ from the edge of the egg. Puncture 2 holes into the shorter side of the other half of the egg.
These holes are where the legs will be located. The set of holes farther in along the egg have a shorter distance between them. Using the bead reamer, puncture 4 holes into the side of the egg. Lay the longer portion of the egg onto a thick piece of cardboard or a thick mat to preserve the counter surface.
