Is Muju Firefly Mass Swarm happening right now?

As of Jun 19, 2026, 8:54 PM, past peak, season runs to ~July 5. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Each late spring, riparian habitats in Muju County host large aggregations of swarming fireflies visible along stream corridors and ecological parks.

The spectacle is concentrated in a 2-3 week window and is supported by local conservation and festival programs that manage viewing to reduce disturbance.
