Since the summer season was coming around i thought ide share this with you guys. i have a toad (Mr. Peepers) and being a toad he eats anything that moves. so last year i got the idea to feed him lightening bugs. well wouldnt you know it he started glowing!
haha thats right for those of you that have toads (i assume frogs would glow too) you can catch them some lightening bugs and feed them to them and sure enough your toad/frog will glow red for a little while.

Yup, lightning bugs and fireflies are the same thing. Their name kind of depends on where you are.

I've done that with frogs too. If you get enough fireflies you can actually grind them up and make a crude glowing paint. When I was a kid my brother and I would paint our forts/tents with it, when we were allowed to stay outside overnight.
