Sea Fireflies are insects that live in areas with clear, pristine water. Usually, they spend their time over the ocean, but sometimes they appear on land, sharing their light with all. The unique protein that radiates light in its abdomen is roughly ten times brighter than a regular firefly's light. When there is a great enough number of them, even the darkest ocean waters can look as clear as day. They are not suitable for consumption, but they are popular for ornamental purposes.
