Armando slunk through the tall grass with a short skinny stick clamped between his teeth. When he'd heard there was a firefly catching contest planned for the night he'd immediately gone to work trying to make the catching easier on himself. With one eye on the sky he'd gotten to work crafting and now, with the sun finally below the trees, it was time and he was ready.
The stick he carried had a makeshift and admittedly ratty looking net at the end. He'd taken a thin, bendy stick and turned it around on itself to make a loop and then used very thin grass to make a net around it. The net was nestled into a cut on the end of his stick and then lashed firmly to it.
The whole thing was a bit unwieldy and very nearly too heavy for him, but Armando was hoping the size of the net would help catch more bugs at once than he could using just his paws. Lightning bugs were pretty slow so really, he only needed to be a teeny bit faster than them.
Spying a cloud of lightning bugs, Armando hustled towards them. With a twist of his head he swiped the net after them and then quickly flopped it down on the grass so they couldn't get away. Excitedly he then readied his bag and moved in to collect his bugs.

Armando has a female tufted titmouse companion. It doesn't have a name because it's dumb and doesn't deserve one. Assume it's with him always.
