Firefly Lantern by Coleman

firefly-lantern-top.jpgDid you know that long ago in ancient China, people sometimes captured fireflies in transparent containers and used them as short-term lanterns? If you're lucky enough to live in an area with these glowing insects, why not try to temporarily harness some of that bioluminescence for yourself in this specially designed lantern?
