A Lightening Bug's light finally going out?

 I remember as a kid how exciting it was to be granted permission to barrow an old jam jar to catch Fireflies and Lightening Bugs as soon as the sun went down. Lightening Bug catching was the neighborhood sport for some kids. And although 50% of those kids participating spent their time brutally torturing the poor lightening bugs by performing dissecting rituals to the bugs, it was always a nice way to spend your summer nights. The essence of summer truly comes through the light of the Fireflies that lit up my neighborhood and all the vibrant children in it.

Becoming an adolescent, I came to notice that these beautiful creatures are brightening less and less as each Summer goes by. The news of these bugs becoming endangered has been heartbreaking, however I could only understand why. Climate control issues as well as an unstable environment has become difficult to the bug to become accustomed to. Please people. Do what you can to save the environment. Something as simple as a Bug that Lights up is just as important to our human history as a major historical event. Once it is gone, it will be remembered as a favorite traditional memory.
