- Real ones are better, but alas out of season right now :)

- Great shot kevbob! And no, they are not suffocating, unless he tightened the lid on because he thought the fireflies would turn macho and fight their way out.

- Haven't seen fireflies in ages. One of my fondest memories as a young child were running through the firefly swarms that filled my grandparents' yard on warm summer nights.

- Wonderful pictures!
  You would not believe your eyes
  If ten million fireflies
  Lit up the world as I fell asleep
  'Cause they'd fill the open air
  And leave teardrops everywhere
  You'd think me rude
  But I would just stand and stare

- Those aren't real fireflies unless maybe they are from Texas. I played with fireflies as a child in Illinois and they were not nearly that big. I never put them a jar though i just ran around with them, caught them, let them go, caught them again...

- Real Life Glow worm
  I lived near a conservation area on some chalk downland a few years ago, where there was a colony of glow worms. They're amazing things - the female beetle sits on a bit of grass, and her abdomen glows to attract the males.
  I took a picture of one - I think it's also pretty evocative: glow worm
