My sadistic cousins did that. Up until that point I had never heard of such a thing. I must admit, it was kinda cool.
I was a stick 10K of them along with a small handful of grass in an oddly shaped plastic bug bottle with a faux leaf in the middle and have them slowly starve to death as I let them gently light up my bedroom from the dresser kind of kid.
To this day lightning bugs are one of about three insects or arachnids that don't totally freak me out (the other two are ladybugs and daddy longlegs).
