Title is slightly misleading. This is at least a dozen normal exposure shots smashed together.

Edit: Long exposure would leave light trails. This is just a slower shutter situation.

Edit: Shutter, not shudder.

The photographer is Kei Nomiyama. He has a gallery of other amazing fireflies shots.

Photographer's description:

The season of a firefly comes around in Japan at the beginning of a rainy season. This flies around a beautiful river about. [HOTARU] Call a firefly at Japan. 主に四国で撮影したヒメボタルとゲンジボタルです。

Translation of the Japanese part:

It is Himebotaru and Genji firefly mainly shot in Shikoku [the smallest of Japan's 4 islands].

Edit: also, here is a link to the original picture (4K resolution).

Edit 2: looks like the photographer took even more fireflies photos. First gallery I linked was from 2016, these are from 2017 according to the "Galleries" page on the photographer's site.
