Lightning or the bug ;) A lantern if sorts or perhaps a “mad” genius! Ahahahah!

This reminds me of capturing lightning bugs in a mason jar when I was a kid. Yeah, I would catch a jarful and then not know what to do with. I think I released them before they suffocated.

Ha, ha! Sounds like we were thinking alike there. I remember doing the same thing... Collecting bugs in those jars too, 'pre-paved' with sticks and grass to give them a 'natural habitat,' and having poked holes in the top with a hammer banging a screwdriver. Ah, the 'good old days.' Thanks for the memory, Milt. :) gw
