About 1 1/2+ mins! The green, and yellow ones, no orange. Heck, just seeing one color would have been thrilling.

Yeah, you can seen fireflies in NYC various places! Even relatively modest patches of grass can have them. But I hadn't seen any in several years .Wasn't sure there'd be any, but it was worth it to go and check at dusk.
And there they were! 😄 🩷
