Dance of the fireflies. A summertime light show

It’s the season of love for fireflies. They create these soft flashes of light as they search for a suitable mate. The glow is produced by a chemical reaction in a firefly’s abdomen. In addition to attracting a partner, the light is believed to deter potential predators by signalling that the insect’s chemical makeup may produce a foul taste or even be toxic. The fireflies on our homepage image were photographed with a long exposure in the Philippines, where fireflies are a popular tourist attraction. Some firefly species here and in other parts of South East Asia are known for their synchronised flashing, creating dramatic light shows in the dark.
