Can you sell Lightning Bugs

Answer 1

I sold lightning bugs as a child 1976-1979. I do not remember who I sold them to, but here is the process. I was sent a container with a drying agent in the bottom. I would catch the bugs with a net that I purchased from the company and store the bugs in the refrigerator until I had enough to mail off. I would count the bugs put the total on a form, insert it into the container and mail them off at my expense. I would receive a check for the bugs (1 cent per bug) along with reimbursement for the postage. The company also had plans to build a jar enclosure that was similar to a wasp trap. The lightning bugs would fly into the jar and become trapped. I did use this method.
