Bhandardara Lake Fireflies Festival Camping 2023 | Fireflies Festival Mumbai & Pune
What is Fireflies?
Fireflies are sometimes called lightning bugs. Many a child has spent summer evenings chasing them.
And maybe you‘ve wondered how and why are these insects able to light up.
The answer is that Fireflies contain an organic compound in their abdomens called luciferin. As air rushes into the abdomen, it reacts with luciferin. A chemical reaction gives off the familiar glow of a firefly. This light is sometimes called “cold – light” because it generates so little heat. The fireflies can regulate the airflow into the abdomen to create a pulsating pattern.
While each firefly species has it own pattern of flashing, some females imitate the pattern of other species. Male land next to them – only to be eaten alive. So the next time you see a firefly keep in mind that it flickering isn’t. Just a unique & sometimes deadly language of love.
