    That’s a very very tiny part of the problem for fireflies

        I’m sorry. But you are insane if you think some kids putting a few fireflies in a jar come anywhere near the negatives of loss of habitat, pollution, and disruption of the food chain.

        Math is fun. Try it some time.

        The user you replied to might be correct but I don’t have any data just personal observation. Human children these days poke holes in the top of their jars which allows them to extend the life of the light source.
