firefly glow
Insect's living light
Firefly glow is the soft, intermittent light produced by fireflies through bioluminescence.
The phrase evokes summer nights and childhood wonder, often used figuratively for anything that pulses with gentle, ephemeral light: The city appeared below us, its firefly glow spreading to the horizon.
Candles gave the garden a firefly glow.
