A firefly is a nocturnal insect also known as a lightning bug. It belongs to the family Lampyridae and is known for its ability to produce light through bioluminescence. Fireflies use this light to communicate with other fireflies, attract mates, and deter predators. The light is produced by a chemical reaction within the firefly's body that involves the enzyme luciferase and a molecule called luciferin. Fireflies are found in many parts of the world, but are particularly common in tropical and temperate regions.
