How To Make Lightning Bugs Light Up. Inside the lantern, the insects produce a chemical reaction to create light without heat, mixing oxygen with calcium, adenosine triphosphate and luciferin while a. These insects, also known as fireflies, can light up the night with their. A firefly controls the beginning and end of the chemical reaction, and thus the start and stop of its light emission, by adding oxygen to the other chemicals needed to produce light. Running around the backyard on warm summer nights in an attempt to catch lightning bugs is a fun pastime. Fireflies produce light in special organs in their abdomens by combining a chemical called luciferin, enzymes called luciferases, oxygen and the fuel for cellular work, atp. Luciferin makes light by losing electrons — a process called oxidation — in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (atp), a molecule that provides energy for cells, and magnesium. Fireflies or lightning bugs make light within their bodies. That luminescence, or cold light, as it's also called, is produced in the light cells and then focused by a layer of reflector cells, which direct that beam outward through that translucent.
