The following is a compilation of some of the best firefly spots in New Taipei City, so take advantage of the holiday season and bring the whole family together to experience the beautiful images of fireflies flying all over the sky!
When I was a kid, when I watched the cartoon "Grave of the Fireflies", I always felt that the picture of fireflies flying in the night sky was really beautiful! But nowadays, the surrounding life is full of man-made buildings, the city's light pollution is also strong, to find fireflies is not an easy thing. But in fact, as long as you go to the grasslands or forests in the suburbs, you can also find traces of fireflies. Late April to early June is the largest number and variety of fireflies, but also the best firefly season, such as Sanxia's July 5 barbecue area, Pingxi Jingtong's abandoned mines, etc., are a drive to reach the firefly viewing spots.
Before going to the firefly secret, in addition to planning a good route, many viewing notes must also pay attention to:
Keep quiet Loud noise will affect the surrounding air changes, the fireflies is a very serious interference, and the noise will affect the fireflies looking for a mate to mate activities. Use red cellophane to avoid the light source car, flashlight light damage will affect the glow of fireflies, because the bright light will affect the firefly's courtship dynamics, fireflies can not see the red light, so wrapped in red plastic paper issued by the red light of the flashlight, the least interference with the fireflies.
Extended reading: MRT + bus!
Don't go into the bushes Because fireflies are in the bushes or between the trees to become insects, and the firefly season is prone to snake infestation, in order to firefly reproduction and personal safety, do not go into the bushes and the woods. Don't leave garbage Fireflies are extremely sensitive to the environment and need clean water to survive, so a polluted environment will affect the survival and reproduction of fireflies. Never catch fireflies Because the fireflies that have been touched by humans will be ostracized by their peers, affecting their mating and reproduction, and the fireflies will easily die due to shock or hand touching. What to wear when watching fireflies? Most of the firefly infested areas are located in mountainous areas, it is recommended to wear long sleeves, long pants to prevent mosquito bites, and wear shoes, not sandals or slippers, to avoid snake bites and prevent falls. The best time to watch fireflies 6:30-8:00 p.m. is the time when fireflies are most active. Fireflies begin to look for mates after dark, so the later the fireflies are, the fewer fireflies will be unable to find their lovers. Rainy day to see the fireflies? In fact, fireflies like a little wet, warm weather, so it is easier to see fireflies on a rainy night, unless the wind is very strong, the rain is very heavy, the temperature difference is significantly lower, otherwise, usually rainy days, fireflies will still appear. How to shoot fireflies? Turn off your flash, use a tripod, set your aperture to maximum, expose for more than 10 seconds, and shoot with a low shutter speed.
