Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A firefly's light is produced by a chemical reaction caused by an organic compound called luciferin found in its abdomens. The luciferin reacts with the air that rushes into the abdomen of a firefly. As a result, it causes a chemical reaction that emits the familiar firefly glow.
The correct statement would be, “Fireflies glow at night”.
