Splendidly romantic lights on a hot summer night! Grand festival of fireflies brightly embroidering the summer night! Fireflies (lightning bugs) mysteriously reach us in brightening armor in scorchingly hot summer night sky. Fireflies, living on marsh snails that live only in class A clean valley water, can live only if the peripheral environment is clean. Around the Jipune village next to the Jangsupocheon stream of Suha Valley are hundreds species of insects including fireflies as well as snails, Japanese mystery snails and Coreana snails.
