I'm rewatching Castle in this Heat Wave (get it? 😁) and I just love this exchange from season 2 episode 6, which aired in 2009. The Firefly movie is from 2005.

Alexis: Hey.
Castle: Hey. I was … I was just … trying on my Halloween costume.
Alexis: What exactly are you supposed to be?
Castle: Space cowboy!
Alexis: Ok. A: there are no cows in space. B: didn't you wear that like five years ago?
Castle: So?
Alexis: So, don't you think you should move on?
Castle: I like it.

New edition of fireflies coming soon!

This #linocut block print shows 3 fireflies (Photinus pyralis, the common eastern firefly or big dipper firefly) in a field against the night sky. These bioluminescent insects are the most common firefly in N America, & they use the light organ on their abdomen to signal potential mates leaving their tell-tale trail of a j-shaped flash pattern. Hence the common name “big dipper firefly”.

they use the light organ on their abdomen to signal potential mates leaving their tell-tale trail of a j-shaped flash pattern. Hence the common name "big dipper firefly". Their twilight glow and flashing light can look quite magical!

These prints are glow-in-the-dark!

Sold out but perhaps it’s time for a new edition?
