Nature’s rhythms; from fireflies flashing to cicadas emerging after years underground.
The prairies may look still, but everything here is in motion—by day and by night, above ground and below. Explorer Ariel Waldman follows nature’s rhythms from fireflies flashing at dusk and woodrats working in the dark to cicadas emerging after years underground. In the prairie, pollinators keep wildflowers blooming while ancient rocks shelter microorganisms and preserve echoes of vanished seas.
