english: Now if you've ever seen or even heard about fireflies, then you'll know how magically they can transform our everyday landscape into something ethereal and otherworldly, and this happens around the globe, like this hillside in the Smoky Mountains that I saw transformed into a living cascade of light by the eerie glows of these blue ghost fireflies, or a roadside river that I visited in Japan as it was giving birth to the slow, floating flashes of these Genji fireflies, or in Malaysia, the mangrove trees that I watched blossom nightly not with flowers but with the lights of a thousand —  (Bleep! Bleep!) — fireflies, all blinking together in stunning synchrony.
non_english: Ako ste ikada videli ili čuli za svice, znaćete onda kako mogu magično transformisati naš svakodnevni pejzaž u nešto eterično i van ovog sveta, i ovo se dešava širom zemljine kugle, kao na ovoj padini planina Smoki koju sam gledala kako se pretvara u žive slapove svetla jezivim sjajem ovih plavih svitaca duhova, ili na reci pokraj ulice koju sam posetila u Japanu dok je rađala spore, lebdeće bljeske ovih Gendži svitaca, ili u Maleziji, mangrov drveće koje sam posmatrala kako cveta noćima, ne cvetovima, već svetlima hiljada - (Blip! Blip!) - svitaca, koji svi trepću zajedno u zadivljujućoj sinhroniji.
