Why do lightning bugs flash?

Communicate, eat and make mating arrangements are the activities of lightning bugs [Lampyridae family] during the night. They tend to be nocturnal. So they communicate and organize their mating by way of their glowing abdomens and their flight patterns. Adult fireflies don't have to eat. But those that do prefer the pollen and the insects that are available once the sun goes down.
