Pyralis
Scientific name: Pyralis
Description
The Pyralis genus includes the well-known firefly, which contrary to popular belief, is not a fly at all, but a beetle. These bioluminescent beetles have captivated humans with their glowing appearances, which they use primarily for mating and communication. The light produced by Pyralis is not just mesmerizing but also highly efficient, with nearly 100% of the energy emitted as light, a feat unmatched by most artificial sources. This ability not only aids in reproduction but also serves as a defense mechanism against predators.
