Fireflies produce a chemical reaction inside their bodies that allows them to light up. This type of light production is called bioluminescence. ... When oxygen combines with calcium, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the chemical luciferin in the presence of luciferase, a bioluminescent enzyme, light is produced.

fire flies glow at night because they contain a chemical which undergoes aerial oxidation and light is produced. that's why they glow at night.
