Light serves to help fireflies in many situations, reproduction, feeding and – this is perhaps the most important – to save themselves! That's right, the firefly's light works as a signal to the predator that says: "I taste horrible, don't eat me!". And predators seem to get the message.
In fact, scientists have discovered that there are some molecules responsible for releasing a bad taste in fireflies and the light is a warning that bad taste is a reality.
