How do you take care of a lightning bug?

Answer 1

Now i am no expert, but i would suggest getting a rather large jar, say about 8 inches high and 3-5 inches wide and poking a bout 5 SMALL holes. Make sure the holes are smaller than the flies you catch. Now as to what they eat. I am unsure but what i do know is that some adult fireflies will eat other insects but many eat pollen and other parts of plants. Stella

Answer 2

Find a 5 gallon container with a lid and a lot of air holes to put them in. They can eat sugar water (which is a goodsubstitute for nectar) and soft bugs like small mealworms and slugs. make sure they have enough room to fly and put things in their cage they can hide under. Don't let it get too hot or cold in their enviorment.

Answer 3

It is fun to catch fireflies. To take care of them, one must provide them with room to fly, and a source of food and water.

Answer 5

The best way to keep lightning bugs alive is to keep them in a jar without poking holes in the lid. Put grass in the bottom of the jar and keep some apple slices in the jar for moisture.
