Glow

Challenge #105

One of the few joys of growing up in the Midwest as a child was that every summer, the dusk of the evenings would be filled with these tiny beetles, glowing in the air. Wanting them to last for many nights at a time, we would innocently chase them, and put them into jars, ultimately leading to a slow and dimming death.

According to Wikipedia....Light in adult beetles was originally thought to be used for warning purposes, but its primary purpose is now thought to be used in mate selection. Fireflies are a classic example of an organism that uses bioluminescence for sexual selection. They have evolved a variety of ways to communicate with mates in courtships: steady glows, flashing, and the use of chemical signals unrelated to photic systems.
