Adult fireflies have a special light-producing tissue inside the abdomen covered by a very thin, translucent exoskeleton; this allows the internally produced light to shine through.

By Laura Klappenbach. Fireflies, also known as lightning bugs, glow to lure prey, discourage predators, and most importantly to attract mates. The characteristic green-yellow glow produced by a firefly is the result of a chemical reaction that takes place in the insect's abdomen.irefly larvae are capable of bioluminescence like the adults. For this reason the larvae are sometimes referred to as glow worms. The various species of fireflies belong to the Family Lampyridae, a group of insects that in turn belongs to the Order Coleoptera, the beetles.
