I have two recollections. One, you'd put them in the jar for a nightlight, and they never ever lit up. Two, the mean boys would tear off their abdomens and stick them on their foreheads where they'd gleam for a minute or so. I hated them.

I remember having a bug cage with a plastic plant inside in which to keep them. I would let them out as they began slowing down. I never made the rings though and it's too early here for them to be out yet...another couple of weeks.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-36157317180268107332013-06-08T17:24:47.368-05:002013-06-08T17:24:47.368-05:00I remember catching lightning bugs.

I knew they were beetles because I've been trying to take an interest in bugs so I would have something to talk to my little nephew about in our letters.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614396557042765746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-59089546452404127102013-06-08T16:18:10.771-05:002013-06-08T16:18:10.771-05:00We don't call them anything as we don't ha...We don't call them anything as we don't have them in the PNW :-(<br />Would love to have them but, even if they could live here, importing exotic species is a big no-no...the dogs' motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512888563325865616noreply@blogger.com
