Fireflies, also known as lightning bugs, are one of the most fascinating insects in the world due to their ability to produce light. The light produced by fireflies is called bioluminescence, which is a chemical reaction that occurs in their abdomen. This unique feature allows fireflies to communicate with each other, attract mates, and even warn predators of their toxicity. The mesmerizing sight of fireflies lighting up a summer night is truly a natural wonder.
