Bug Nets Help To Protect The Wings of Flying Insects

I know this is a little off the beaten path here, but I used to love collecting Fireflies as a kid. Some people call them Glow Bugs, because they light up at night and glow. We used to go outside at night and catch them in the yard, and put them in a jar and watch them glow. Then before we went in for the night, we would let them go so that they wouldn't die.
