About this time of year we start seeing fireflies in the yard as the sun sets. They are just harmless little beetles who light up briefly as they fly around the yard looking for their friends. I used to run around the grass and catch them, then save them in an empty mayonnaise jar. But after one night of captivity I would set them free the next day. After all, they were not going to be happy living inside a mayonnaise jar – they wanted to fly free and be with their friends.
