Bioluminescence is a property where living organism emit their own light .
Example: Luciola (firefly), pleirobrachia (Ctenophora kingdom),Lampyris noctiluca (Glow worm),jelly fish.
This is basically a chemical reaction in their body, which produces pigment luciferin, and luciferin reacts with oxygen to give out light.
In some aquatic organisms a chemical called aequorin is produces which reacts with Calcium to give out blue colour.
