reminds one of the old song

Glow little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer
Out where the street lights shimmer, shimmer
baby you got no chance at all
you're just too effing small.

I wonder if that's why our lightning bugs have vanished. 
(actually, I know why. A long sad story having to do with lawn mowers, 
pesticides, herbicides and the heat death of the universe. What we need 
here is a good lawsuit with two pairs of pants. That's the Florida 
solution for everything.)
