When do fireflies come out?

Be more specific than "in summer" or "in june." Say something like "around june 20th" (Example) Use your experience and don't just guess. No jokes please. Just people who actually know, please.

Answers:
I am just north of Atlanta and they are already out. I have been catching them for a couple of weeks now with my 4 yr old daughter. Or course we let them all go. She calls them her little "tinks" (Tinkerbell from peter pan)

Other answers:
Early evening when its warm enough. I'd say 80 degrees.

I love watching the first fireflies come up from the yard. In Virginia there are clouds of them. We used to catch them in jars and make little glow jars. Of course, we always let them go at the end of the evening.

You know, I've been wondering myself, because I haven't noticed any fireflies at all the last two summers. (I live in Saint Paul, MN.)

I asked around, and was told a bunch of times that the measures taken for mosquito control affect fireflies, too. But I haven't been able to find out if that's true or not.

I hope you get good answers. I miss the critters.
