Homework Week 9

Write this poem into your book and learn it please. Can you explain what fireflies are and do some research on them?

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

Robert Frost

There are over 2000 species of fire flies that live in tropical areas.
