The Pennsylvania Firefly Festival is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. PAFF's mission is to educate the public and raise awareness about over 15 different species of firefly in Forest County through an annual celebration on the last Saturday in June. Among the most interesting fireflies are the Synchronous fireflies (which flash in unison late at night in the dark forests) and the fairy-like "Chinese Lanterns". The official insect of Pennsylvania, the firefly is a charismatic and awe-inspiring bug that brings out the childlike wonder in all of us.
