  1. It's a chemical. The blinking light is to attract a mate.


  2. They use a chemical process called bioluminescence. It works similar to a glow stick. Bioluminescence occurs in many animals, and it always produces cold light.

    Lightning bugs (or glow worms, fireflies) light up in order to find a mate.
