Visual communication in fireflies.

Description
(a) Communication between fireflies is conducted by species-specific light flashes emitted by organs located on the underside of the abdomen. (b) At dusk, many different light flashes can be seen. (c) Sometimes females, such as this large Photuris versicolor, mimic the displays of other species, luring an unwitting male, such as this Photinus tanytoxus, and then eating him.
