I was doing some research for a tiki fete this past spring of 2014 and stumbled across a website that sold artificial fireflies THAT MOVED! How cool is that? They were affixed by wires to a base as I recall -- can't remember if they moved via mechanical means or a small fan, though.

Not only that, this site also sold a large selection of anatomically correct artificial butterflies, moths, etc. -- some of them very large and tropical -- right out of the jungles of New Guinea or the Enchanted Tiki Room!

At the time I cheaped out and now just a few short months later, alas and alack, I can't find the site... If any of you intrepid jungle explorers have any leads please let me know...

Thanks for the information already provided above by others. I did visit Tim Carter's site -- unfortunately his shop http://www.bayoufireflies.com was not active when I checked just now and his last Bayou Fireflies Facebook post was from July 24th of 2013; looks like a great product and I hope it comes back! I also found http://www.fireflymagic.com which sells what appear to be stationary fireflies which I intend to give a try until my search for El Dorado yields gold...
