  1. Bird? No.

    Fly? No.

    Go with the insect, in particular -- Lampyridae is a family in the beetle order Coleoptera, members of which are commonly called fireflies, lightning bugs or (ambiguously) "glow worms" due to their conspicuous nocturnal (or, more accurately, crepuscular) use of bioluminescence to attract mates or prey.


  2. insect

  3. i think it's a lightning bug

  4. it,s a lihtning bug

  5. A beetle.

  6. Its an insect.

  7. "Lampyridae is a family in the beetle order Coleoptera, members of which are commonly called fireflies, lightning bugs "

    I think that means it's a beetle.
