Firefly
Luminescent nocturnal beetle
A firefly is a beetle that produces bioluminescent light from its abdomen, flashing patterns to attract mates on summer nights.
Also called lightning bugs, they're iconic in warm-weather regions: The children ran through the yard catching fireflies in jars.
The name applies to the entire family, though not all species glow.
