I also found some other facts the kids loved! :) In Japan, people used to keep fireflies in lanterns (like our solar lanterns) to light their gardens. In jungles, men sometimes tied a net full of fireflies to their ankles to help then see as they walked. A medical doctor (named William Gorgas) once was operating on a wounded soldier in Cuba during the Spanish-American War when the lights went out. Dr. Gorgas was able to finish the operation using the light of fireflies. The kids love to feel like they know something grown ups don't know! Have fun!
