Firefly is arguably the most mysterious and intriguing insect I've come across in real life. When I was a kid, my curiosity knew no bounds when it came to fireflies ('Jonaki' in Bengali, 'Jugnu' in Hindi). Whenever I encountered a group of these glowing beauties, I acted immediately to make sure there were no other sources of light around. Be it turning off the lights, or closing the windows, in order to maximise the effects. However, when it involved the outdoors, it was advisable (not to mention, safe) to carry a battery torch. No one wants to end up being bitten by a snake while enjoying the fireworks in the sky.
I did catch a few fireflies to have a closer look. It was bewildering to say the least. Unable to understand the physics / chemistry / biology of the light source, all I did was stare at this amazing specimen in awe. Every single time.
