How do those lil guys make the light??
Fireflies light up to attract a mate. To do this, the fireflies contain specialized cells in their abdomen that make light.
hmmmmmmmmmm..... if I were to answer this inane question with a sarcastic and derisive statement , which I am about to, I would say that THEYRE PROBABLY MAGICAL!
The key to lighting up a firefly's life is luciferase, an enzyme, and its tag-team buddy, luciferin, the molecule upon which luciferase enzyme acts. Lucieferase drives a chemical reaction that generated light
