Lynn Frierson Faust and the Great Smoky Mountain Discovery

Firefly Song tells the story of how Lynn Faust went from citizen scientist to firefly expert and, in the process, discovered a species of synchronous fireflies in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. For a few weeks each summer, these special fireflies put on a dazzling light show that draws thousands of people from around the world to a small town in the mountains of Tennessee.
