"While I lay there relaxing, I suddenly noticed that there was a tiny, bright, golden-white light fluttering in the plant. It looked like it was going from leaf to leaf, stopping to rest sometimes."
I received the following account:
"Hi. This happened about 15 years ago, when I was about 18. I was taking a long hot bath in the middle of a winter day, more to relax than anything else. Typical winter day in Wausau, Wisconsin. The bathroom was set up so that while laying back in the tub, the toilet was about five feet directly across from my head. There was a potted plant on top of the toilet tank.
While I lay there relaxing, I suddenly noticed that there was a tiny, bright, golden-white light fluttering in the plant. It looked like it was going from leaf to leaf, stopping to rest sometimes. I was confused as to what it could be, and just lay there watching it for a minute.
I decided to get up and see what kind of insect could be doing this in the winter. I stood up from the tub really quietly and crept over to the plant. When I was about a foot away, the light just went out. Like instantaneously disappeared.
I searched all over the plant (it was not large) and around the toilet and didn't find anything.
I have no idea what it was. The light was a beautifully clear gold-white color that I hadn't seen anywhere else. It wasn't the glowstick-like greeny-yellow that fireflies or glowworms have. Also, it didn't flicker or fly like a firefly (assuming, of course, that a full-grown one could even be found in the winter).
I guess it could have been a lot of things, but it's always seemed fairylike to me." L
