Best Answer

"Vaga-lume" or "Pirilampo" may be Portuguese equivalents of "lightning bug" (Lampyridae family).

The masculine noun "vaga-lume" conveys an image of a "roaming light." Its singular definite article is "o" ("the"), and its singular indefinite article "um" ("a, one"). The masculine noun "pirilampo" is formed from the Greek words "pyris" and "lampis," which respectively mean "heat" and "light."

The pronunciation of each of the two choices is respectively "VAH-guh-LOO-mee" and "PEE-ree-LAHM-poo."
