Curious if anyone had more information about the Synchronous Fireflies appearing in the park in places other than Elkmont.
From what I can find online, it seems that they appear in Elkmont, Cades Cove, near Gatlinburg, and other water sheds on the TN side with elevations near 2200'.
But Saturday Night, I was camping at site #53 at the top of the Deep Creek water shed, situated above 3000' on the NC side. We were treated to a suprise display of the Synchronous Fireflies.
I just can't figure out if what we witnessed is common throughout the park, or if it was unusual to find these fireflies @ #53.
Now I realize that #53 is only 15 miles from Elkmont. But I still have not been able to find any Internet resources that indicate these fireflies appear in NC.
