Millions of tiny fireflies transform this dark woodland into something resembling an enchanted forest more commonly seen in a fairytale. Yellow dots fill the air and dart through the trees in these stunning photos taken by photographer Sergio Robledo.

The beautiful insects, known as lightning bugs, thrive in the humid conditions of the forest in Nanacamilpa village, in Tlaxcala, Mexico – which create perfect breeding conditions.

The bugs also leave the forest and scatter across the wide open fields in the surrounding area, with one picture showing them against an incredible backdrop of the sun setting behind a hill.
