RE: Achieving the Idyllic Life by Firefly Light
Hello @ginnyannette and thanks for sharing this blog with us. I can remember as a kid I would catch fireflies or as we would call them in the south lighting bug lmao. I can remember learning about how important oxygen was after I didn't punch any holes in the top of my jar. It caused all my fireflies to die. If you collect enough of them, they will give off a nice amount of light and last for at least an hour or so, well they did back in the day.
Aw, how sad. I'm sure large numbers of insects are sacrified in the name of childhood science every day :)
We do not have fireflies were I live, so when seeing them on vacation calling them something is always a foreign thing. Not sure how I settled on firefly - lightning bug seems to be the more common.
