When I would visit my uncles in southern Indiana when I was growing up, they would love to catch lightning bugs and do something that still to this day makes me cringe.

After he would gather up a hand full of fireflies, my uncle would smear them up and down his arms and legs so he would glow in the dark. Not the way a firefly wants to go out.

Here's another interesting way a firefly ended its life that was caught on video.

Someone caught the moment right after a frog had a snack that turned the little guy into a caution light.

The video shared by ABC7 in Chicago was titled "Ever wonder what happens when a frog eats a firefly? 🐸"
