Me and my friends would go out at night and see how many lightning bugs we could catch. We would do this every summer night. My dad made us a couple of big containers with wire mesh lids so none ever got hurt.
We always had them filled and glowing like some crazy looking lantern out of a steampunk game. We would let them out to fly away when we were done but they would be everywhere as thick as you could see when the sun when down.
Now I think I have been lucky to catch one or two after dark.
