Firefly
by Nicole O.
When the female firefly flashes her light the male firefly answers by flashing his light. A firefly has a flat, oblong body and most have light organs on the underside of the abdomen. Not only do the adults glow, young ones and even the eggs give off light.
Fireflies' eggs light up the night. Light glows brightly on the larva. Even the pupa of the insect shines. The firefly is often called a lightning bug.
