Yesterday was a perfect example of why I left the east coast: the combination of heat and humdity is like kryptonite to me. There are some things that I still miss after nearly 7 years in Denver, though, such as magnolia trees and fireflies.As a child, I would regulary catch twenty or so fireflies and trap them inside a glass quart jar that I would keep by my bed as an eerie nightlight.
While it might not be quite the same, this jar of mechanically operated fireflies created by Jesse Ferguson gets extra points for being a cool steampunk design, plus the light it gives off is UV. Just imagine: blacklight fireflies!
