angelicfallacy:

It’s so weird to read people calling Fireflies, “Lightning Bugs”.

 

arcanelegacy:

Ah, regional differences in language. Lightning Bugs, fireflies… (Google also tells me that they are sometimes called “Moon Bugs”, “Fire Devils”, or, my new personal favorite, “Golden Sparklers”)

I used to have a lantern-shaped bug cage as a child. Many summer evenings I’d go out and see how many I could catch for my lantern-cage, before letting them all go at the end of the hunt. They’re so easy to catch, you know. They fly slowly, and they don’t try to flee from you.

Damn, I miss fireflies.
