Lightning bugs, or fireflies, communicate primarily through bioluminescent signals produced by chemical reactions in their bodies. Males typically emit specific patterns of light to attract females, who respond with their own light signals. This communication helps them find mates and can vary by species, with different patterns and rhythms. Additionally, some species use light signals to ward off predators by signaling their toxicity.
