June is the mating season for one of the most remarkable creatures on earth. If you live in the eastern United States, Japan, Thailand, India or several other countries throughout the world, then you're in for a special treat over the next 4-6 weeks brought to you by one of nature's marvels - the firefly.
During the month of June fireflies put on a spectacular light show. Most of us have seen it, but we might not have a deep enough appreciation for what we're witnessing.
Each species of firefly has its own light code and all species generate their light without generating any heat. It's remarkably efficient.
Remarkable, too, is the anatomy of the firefly's abdomen which is structured to amplify the light.
Fireflies are actually not flies, they're beetles, and the John 10:10 project has put together a beautiful 8 minute film on this amazing insect.
Watch it, and hopefully if you get a chance to see the light display this month it'll be much more meaningful to you:
