In terms of bioluminiscence what does it mean ... ligthing bugs?
I think you mean "lightning bugs" or "fireflies".

See wikipedia here and in Spanish.

Hay muchas en mi rancho... preciosas luciérnagas... fáciles de atrapar y poner en un vaso para verlas brillar. Si no me equivoco, sólo las hembras emiten luz verdosa... para atraer al macho, claro... ¿dónde más he visto eso...? 👁 Big Grin :D
...bichos o bichitos de luz me gusta menos. Nada preciso. Pero bueno...


Bueno...👁 Frown :(

(bicho) de luz.
