I suppose they are not the same tho.....a bit the same.
The absolute best part?

To be able to stand amongst them while the rise up from the ground.

I have mowed the back lawn a few times and now I can navigate the area w/o tripping on the tufts of grass in the dark.

I have found myself looking for excuses to go outdoors, after dark, to stand out there for a few minutes.

The first time I did that was a little unreal.

As you try and focus on them rising up from the grass, you lose your sense of balance! I guess it's a spatial thing that got thrown off inside my head-but that - along with the idea that I was seeing something that I had only heard about in books and in movies was quite a rush.

Yes, you do want to run about and catch one- just to see what they look like up close...I guess that will have to wait until I get over the rush of seeing something I really wasn't prepared for.

(My next science project is to find out what are those freaking noisy insects in the trees!)
