    Firefly Lives On As an LED Light

    Designer Harry Allen is the kind of person that would look at roadkill as an opportunity. For example, he recycled the carcass of a pig for a bank and a dead firefly for a lamp.

    That is to say, he made a 3D printing of a dead firefly and crammed three LEDs inside. As bizarre as this is, a whole swarm of these would make for an interesting chandelier. [Design News Now via No Smarties via Boing Boing]
