Actually, Fireflies even glow in the morning but due to the light we aren't able to see that.
So when it is night in the dark we are able to see it glowing. Fireflies produce a chemical reaction inside their bodies that allows them tolight 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.
They have their own natural light by the way... just like the stars..☺☺ ☺
