Fireflies and glowworms are land-dwelling insects that produce light through a chemical reaction involving luciferin and luciferase. Fireflies are famous for their flashing signals, which are used to attract mates or, in some cases, to confuse predators. Glowworms, on the other hand, often produce a steady glow that lures insects into sticky threads or traps.
Their light is usually yellow, green, or pale blue. These glowing displays are best seen on warm summer nights or in dark caves. For centuries, humans have admired their magical light, often referring to them as nature's tiny lanterns. Their glow adds magic to the natural world.
