F i r e f l i e s
A firefly, also known as a lightning bug, is a type of insect that is known for its ability to
produce light. A firefly makes light when a chemical reaction takes place in its
abdomen. They use this light to attract mates, communicate with other fireflies, and
deter predators.   Fireflies are found in many parts of the world, especially in humid
and tropical environments. They are most commonly seen at night during the summer
when they come out to mate and feed. Some species of fireflies are also known for
their synchronized flashing, where thousands of individuals flash in unison, creating a
spectacular light show.
