Summertime is the perfect time to see one of nature's own lightshows: the yellowish-green glow from fireflies. Despite their name, these insects are not flies. They are beetles. Starting in summer, it is common to see them out in fields, signaling to other fireflies. You may have also heard of anglerfish, which actually contain bacteria that cause the glow at the end of a “lure” that the fish dangles in front of its huge mouth to attract its prey. There are hundreds of species of animals that exhibit bioluminescence. Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. It occurs in many different kinds of living organisms, including bacteria and fungi!
