FireflyFirefly, firefly,
Wow, how you glow!
Under you body
You light up below!
Firefly, firefly,
Wow, how you shine!
At night in the dark
I can see you just fine!

The firefly is one of the most iconic insects of the summer. I remember chasing fireflies around our yard and catching them to collect in a jar (or swatting them out of the air with a stick which was also fun). Fireflies have the amazing ability to light up their backsides in the most delightful manner. They use the flashes of light to attract mates and perhaps warn some predators of their less-than-desirable taste. These small creatures use bioluminescence to produce the glow (kind of like the angler fish from earlier). Fireflies are amazing creatures that we all too often take for granted. God has really blessed us with such variety in nature.
