8. I miss those!

We had them in New England and in the Great Lakes region. I loved watching them as a kid. My parent would pitch a big tent for us to play in all summer and let us sleep out in it some nights. My siblings and I would catch some and let them loose in the tent so we could watch them as we went to sleep.

Later in life I enjoyed driving around the lakes at night in summer, out in the fields there were so many that they looked like streaks of light as I rolled down the highway.
