There are more than 2000 species of fireflies in the world. I nominate all the ones around here whatever they are. One day I will make friends with an insect freakazoid who will help me identifiy ours. The enzyme that catalyzes the reaction that gives light is LUCIFERASE, named after Lord Voldemort.

Ahhh, Luciferase... I always wondered about that.

I think they need a good field guide on the fireflies for us to use!
my choice too. love those bugs and well, now i know what the enzyme is called and will remember it because of "he who will not be named"
