More Ideas for Firefly's

I am really excited that firefly's are going to become a mob in Minecraft and I actually have a few ideas for the mob

1. Just like in real life you can capture firefly's in a glass bottle making it glow but leaving it in the bottle for more than 1 Minecraft day can kill the firefly.

2. The firefly's leave dust particles everywhere they go like in the movie tinker bell wherever they go pixie dust follows them or the bees when they are full of nectar.

3. The firefly's feast on honey and water.

4. When mating both of the firefly's shine extra bright when met with each other making the baby firefly.

5. I was also thinking that when firefly's are near mobs they become less hostile kind of like they have an effect on them that makes them calm but only for a couple seconds.

6. Or instead of making them less hostile firefly's only appear in areas where there are less to no mobs but fly away when a mob appears. So imagine your in the swamp and your surrounded by firefly's and it's calm and magical until they start flying away and you hear mobs coming up from behind disturbing your moment.

    Number six is pretty nice... if you see fireflies flying away in swarms you would know that the other direction has mobs incoming.

    Maybe a bottle of honey could attract them?
    I like the idea that you could trap some in a bottle, perhaps to take back to the new frog to feed it?

    In the real world, light pollution has nearly wiped out firefly populations and a lot of other insect populations.  Saturation of light in an area interferes with fireflies' ability to find a mate, so fewer and fewer of them continue future generations.  It would be good to showcase the costs of light pollution to bring this awareness to communities across our world.  I recommend when a place is lit up, that the firefly populations slowly diminish until they are nearly non-existent within and around the area that is heavily lit up.
