[quote=jkwynn]We used to catch "lightning bugs" which is what we called fireflies. I was just asking why we never see those anymore.

Oh, do I remember those lightning bugs, they were marvelous!
We'd put them in a jar with cloth over it and carry them around in the dark. I remember Grandma sitting on the porch with her pipe and pointing out that the lightening bugs were on all the bushes, and each bush would light up, each in its own turn but not all at the same time. Never could understand that.
Yes, it is a different world, and I'm not too sure of anyone nowadays where kids are concerned. But we lived in a marvelous world, way back then.
