Ray the firefly is a small, glowing insect known for its ability to produce light through a chemical reaction in its body. This light is used for communication, especially during mating season, when male fireflies flash their lights to attract females. Ray is often found in warm, humid environments, typically near water sources like ponds and marshes. Fireflies, also known as lightning bugs, belong to the family Lampyridae. They are most active during the summer months and are commonly seen at dusk and dawn. Ray's bright glow not only serves a purpose in reproduction but also adds a magical touch to summer nights, enchanting those who observe him.
