Firefly Jubilee

As a child, Chris Barton remembers catching fireflies to put in a jar to examine up close. Of course, they were always released soon after being caught. Her father tells of catching some and smearing their luminescence on his shoes so they would light up. The next day was shoe cleaning day! Sadly, fireflies are losing their habitats and so the remembrance of a firefly jubilee in the nighttime summer sky is quickly fading.
