Bioluminescence in fireflies primarily serves as a means of communication, particularly for mating purposes. Male fireflies emit specific light patterns to attract females, who respond with their own light signals. This bioluminescent display helps facilitate mate selection and species recognition, ensuring successful reproduction. Additionally, bioluminescence may also play a role in deterring predators by signaling toxicity or unpalatability.
