This year's first Junebugs were out last night. They're a hair early.
Their appearance always brings back memories of capturing them in mason jars as a kid. Researchers at the local university was studying bioluminescence back then and paid kids for collecting them.

No LBs in this region. We must get by with sparks from overloaded hookahs.

And their butts glow!!
Oooo, my spirit animal!! Once while camping up north my wife and her sister, her boyfriend and I spotted some glowing stuff in the grass, near a lake known for being a stargazers favorite. Sure, we'd puffed the jazz cabbage beforehand, but it looked like glowing worms. Upon closer inspection, they were Firefly larvae!!! To quote Eric Burdon, this really blew my mind!
Otherwise, lighting bugs find their way into my life in suspicious and wonderful ways. Saw a baby one the other day near the lake, and some biguns flashing me last night walking around Hamtown during Eid al-fitr. Pretty magical stuff.

Whoever designed this "life thing" got lightning bugs right. Nice touch.

I love when mantids hang around our place. I know they'e watching me.
I'm not sure about other arthropods but many flying and crawling critters can be dealt with using... carnivorous pitcher plants. Set up a couple around the house, keep your screens closed, and empty the plants regularly. Venus flytraps are more photogenic but pitcher plants are more effective.
Hmm, if lightning bugs are swallowed, do the pitchers glow?
(SPOILER: No.)
