The characteristic green yellow glow produced by a firefly is the result of a chemical reaction that takes place in the insect's abdomen. This chemical reaction involves three ingredients luciferin (a heat resistant substrate and serves as the source of the light) luciferase (an enzyme that triggers the light producing chemical reaction) and oxygen (provides the fuel for the reaction to proceed).

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.
