Fireflies should be called fire beetles because they belong to the order Coleoptera, which encompasses all beetles. Their bioluminescent glow, often associated with summer evenings, is a characteristic of some beetle species. This glow is produced by a chemical reaction in their bodies, similar to other beetles that exhibit luminescence, reinforcing their classification as beetles rather than flies. Thus, the name "fire beetle" accurately reflects both their taxonomy and their unique glowing ability.
