The firefly bush makes no sense

Historically, arthropods are giant mobs in Minecraft. This is evidenced by the mobs that take the most damage from the Bane of Arthropods enchantment (i.e. spiders, cave spiders, bees, silverfish, and endermites). Fireflies are unquestionably arthropods, it seems wrong to me that they are represented in the game as pixels of light. I really liked the firefly bushes, but because of this incongruity, I suggest that the name of the item be changed to “Magic Bush” or something like that.

    I agree that it is inconsistent; arthropods have always been huge until now. I also find giant insects a lot more interesting than a single pixel, realistic sized one, but this could be a good alternative to replacing the particles with giant fireflies. A name change like this could make firefly bushes more suitable to include in potion brewing or enchanting. I think this would make them a lot more useful as opposed to leaving them as purely decorative. A new name could be more creative than just "Magic Bush", though.
