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.
