Just finished stacking firewood in the backyard. Spent the better part of the day splitting wood, mostly ash and box elder. I go to grab a piece and notice a few green "glowing" dots near the middle of the piece. Its on the split side, not the bark side, so it would have been in the middle of the tree earlier in the day. At first I thought it was just some paint scraped off one of the wedges which might be reflecting the light from my house 150 feet away. So I close my hand around it to block off any remaining light (it was pretty dark to begin with along the back tree-line) and the green dots are still glowing. One last test, I cup both my hands completely around the three dots and put it up to my eye. Definitely glowing. Very strange. Only thing I can think of is maybe fireflies were boring into the wood and nesting in the middle of the tree and one met its end when I split the log. However, I always thought they nested in the ground.
Just curious if anyone has seen this before. The largest dot was probably the size of a grain of rice or smaller, and the other two dots were smaller yet. They were all within an inch of each other.
