Aww.. thanks, you two, for commenting. Glad I could stir up some find memories for yall!

I chase lightening bugs aka fireflies with my little nephew. Once in awhile he will squeeze too hard and I get grossed out but we love to do it. I got yellow lights and put them in a purple Mason jar to make him a nightlight. When they twinkle in the night he says they are his fake lightening bugs. ;)

I loved catching them on a hill in the mountains when I was a kid
We looked for night crawler worms for my Uncle and Dad to fish and all us kids would catch lightning bugs ,,those are cool childhood memories
Thanks for the share dear
I pray your days and nights are blessed ones

I remember lightning bug catching nights too. And the peepers and the bullfrogs harmonizing along the creek. Playing statues and Mother May I in the backyard while the grownups cranked homemade peach ice cream on the back porch.

Thank you for bringing all that back.

My brother would shake them in a jar to find us when we'd play hide-n-seek at night out in the woods. 😊I miss it back there...I miss the fireflies and my brother!

I haven`t seen any of those in years.

I was researching lightning bugs too. I didn't see as many this year and we had ALOT of rain. Maybe we had too much. 🤷‍♀️
