Why do some bugs glow in the dark?

Who doesn't love glow-in-the-dark Halloween costumes, stickers, or glow sticks? Many bugs glow in the dark, too. Unlike glow toys, these bugs make their own light. These bugs are bioluminescent (by-oh-lew-muh-NESS-ent). Chemicals in their bodies combine to make them shine. Although bioluminescent animals light up, they don't give off heat like a light bulb does. Fireflies are the most common glow-in-the-dark insects. They light up to communicate with each other as they look for a mate.

Do glow sticks glow longer in the dark or light?

The better question is does a glow stick glow longer in hot or cold environments. Here since its a chemical reaction heat acts as a catalyst and speeds up the process. So in warm weather you'll get brighter glow that lasts significantly shorter then a glow stick in a cold environment. Funny enough if you cool down a glow stick enough (about -60 F) then the process will stop altogether.
