Tonight I had to run out to my car in the dark and I decided the homescreen image on my iPhone just wasn’t putting off enough light to find my way, so I fired up my flashlight app and it more than sufficiently did the job.
Once I’d reached my car I noticed there were several options available in the flashlight app, including ‘strobe’. I turned it on and noticed my dog didn’t seem to care for it while it ran for about 15 seconds while I adjusted the flash frequency.
I dug the SD card out of my camera and closed my car door and noticed 4-5 fire flies blinking at almost the same rate as the strobe had been flashing. This was the first time I’d seen any fire flies since last summer, and I seem to remember them staying lit for a few seconds then off for a while longer, never blinking this fast.
Does anyone know if this is possible for the fire flies to respond to the flashes, or is this completely a coincidence?
