FIREFLY
Lampyridae is a family of insects in the beetle order Coleoptera.
They are winged beetles, and commonly called fireflies or lightning
bugs for their conspicuous crepuscular use of bioluminescence to
attract mates or prey. Fireflies produce a "cold light", with no
infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically produced light
from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale red, with
wavelengths from 510 to 670 nanometers.

WHAT ARE
LIGHTNING
BUGS?
Lightning bugs, also called fireflies, are found on every continent
in the world except Antarctica. There are over 2,000 species worldwide
and most have the ability to flash a light from their abdomens.
Lightning bugs do so to attract mates, but some mimic the flash signals
of other lightning bug species in order to lure them in and devour them.
Fireflies prefer humid, moist areas and are often found near ponds,
marshes and low-lying areas.
