 A firefly sits on a leaf in the Cockscomb Jaguar Reserve, waiting for the sun to set. As the sun begins to disappear, you see a pale yellow light-emitting from the back of this bugs body. This organ contains an enzyme, called luciferase (with pigments called luciferins), when this enzyme is secreted into the bugs lower organ, and then combined with oxygen - it creates the flashing yellow light you see. Unlike human light bulbs, this is a cold light without any infrared or ultraviolet wavelengths. There are over 2,000 species of firefly scattered around the world, but despite their name they're actually beetles and not flies. Fireflies are not the only type of beetle which emit light, some net-winged beetle larvae also do this trick. This bug helps to bring the jungle to life at night.
