Fireflies glow because they have different chemicals in their bodies. When combined, there's a chemical reaction and they glow.
To be more specific, cells in the firefly's abdomen produce luciferin and that creates luciferase, an enzyme. The luciferin combines with oxygen and forms oxyluciferin, which is inactive, but luciferase speeds up the reactions. Luciferin combines with ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and luciferyl adenylate and PP(pyrophosphate) are produced.
Oxygen and luciferyl adenylate mix to produce oxyluciferin and AMP (adenosine monophosphate). Finally, it starts to glow.
There are also uric acid crystals produced by the abdominal cells that help the light reflect away.
The fireflies inhale to light up and they exhale to go out.
Fireflies glow to communicate, attract mates and repel predators. The chemical that makes them glow is called lucibufagen and has a foul taste.

With certain chemicals that react in their bottoms.
because at night they start to glow up and it is pretty bright. also fire flies are nature and the light of them is natural. :]
Sun is brightest and fire flies are dimmest source of light
fire flies are important because the can give light
bioluminescence
The fire was dying out
Yes, by using a chemical reaction in their tail.
Because they fly, and they light up, so especially before electric lights, it seemed like they were tiny flames in the air. :)
the pilot light in my fireplace is working but when i turn the switch on (new switch) it wouldn't fire up
light up liquid
Spray gasoline on an object and light the object with the lighter.
Fire works light up because of the Krystal's and acids in explosives.
