WHY DO FIREFLIES LIGHT UP?

                         Fireflies or lightning bugs emit light to communicate. More often a firefly use light to attract a mate. The light production occurs on their lower abdomen which produces a chemical called bioluminescence. Fireflies also use this kind of light to warn predators. Since, they are being associated with their foul taste and of being toxic; predators would learn to keep away from them the next instance. Fireflies can produce several colors and patterns as their signal. It can be light-red, yellow or green in a steady or in a
flashing glow.

DO ANTS COMMUNICATE?

                                    Ants are social animals that live in colonies and they have a lot to communicate to each other. They use special chemicals to signal information to each other. The worker ants inform each other about the source of food. Soldier ants produce special chemicals called pheromones to attract other soldiers and warn them about any danger to the colony.
