Wait what happened to fireflies? I just saw some outside my house.

Although, I will admit when I think back to my childhood I remember there being lots more of them at night in the summer

Their population has been dwindling to such an extent I've encountered people that have never seen them before and assumed they weren't real. You must live somewhere nice if you get to see lots of them!
