The light of a firefly turns on and off through a biochemical process called bioluminescence. Fireflies produce light using a reaction between a chemical called luciferin and an enzyme called luciferase, in the presence of oxygen. This reaction occurs in specialized cells in the firefly's abdomen, and the signaling mechanism allows them to control the light emission by regulating the flow of oxygen, enabling them to turn the light on and off. This ability is often used for mating displays and communication.
