Firefly Song

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.
