Firefly, you're not alone...

Scorpion: All scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light, such as an electric black light or natural moonlight. The blue-green glow comes from a substance found in the hyaline layer, a very thin but super tough coating in a part of the scorpion's exoskeleton called the cuticle.

Cookiecutter Shark: They are able to produce bioluminescence on their ventral side, the underside of an organism, due to tiny light producing organs called photophores. They have adaptations for hovering in the water column and likely rely on stealth and subterfuge to capture more active prey. Its dark collar seems to mimic the silhouette of a small fish, while the rest of its body blends into the downwelling light via its ventral photophores.

Anglerfish: The anglerfish's light emanates from the end of fishing-rod-like extension on its forehead. It uses this surprising adaptation to lure prey out of the dark and close enough for its razor-toothed jaws to strike. The angling structure evolved from the spines of the fish's dorsal fin.

Jellyfish: The glow occurs when a substance called luciferin reacts with oxygen. This releases energy, and light is emitted. An enzyme called luciferase facilitates the reaction.

Fireflies: They produce a chemical reaction inside their bodies that allows them to light up. When oxygen combines with calcium, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the chemical luciferin in the presence of luciferase, a bioluminescent enzyme, light is produced.

Firefly Squid: The firefly squid creates light via a chemical reaction inside its body, the same way a lightning bug does. The process involves wrangling together the dynamic duo of bioluminescence, two substances called luciferin and luciferase.
