The firefly is sometimes referred to as a “lightening bug.” There are about 2,000 firefly species; for the most part they live in warm but humid environments. Fireflies are neither flies nor bugs; they are actually part of the beetle family. Fireflies are from the Animalia kingdom, and are of the Lampyridae family. Fireflies hibernate over winter by burrowing underground, under water or settle under the bark of a tree some can live for several years by hibernating as larva during the winter. Most
speaking. Usually language is never mentioned, or native tongues are translated to English through some form of external force, like the babel fish in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or C-3PO. The world of Joss Whedon's short lived television series, Firefly, and its follow-up movie, Serenity, is created with such attention to detail and creativity that its cult status is easily understandable. The back story of this space western is that the United States and China were the two superpowers that expanded

The faceoff: Firefly vaporizer vs. Arizer Solo! Versatility: The Arizer Solo is a no-frills dry herb vaporizer.

of the fireflies: that they do not, in any way, resemble the target of their emulation. This is central to the poem. The last two lines, “Achieve at times a very star-like start. / Only, of course, they can’t sustain the part.” (Frost 5-6) show that in spite of their shortcomings, they are able to continue the pretense of their being a star; however, it eventually falls apart and they are unable to prop up the act for long. Now, all of these lines contribute to the theme shown in Fireflies in the
Every so often there comes a book that really changes and changes the way that you look at things. While Traveller has often been compared to Firefly or Shotguns in Space, it never quite had the same feel of a Space Western that say Star Trek did. It had a more investigation and good people called to do sometimes bad things mood. But, what it kept coming back to was a sort of Western (genre) sensibility where players do form posses and go after bad guys. Which is as much a product of the Western

react to create light energy. An example of bioluminescence is a firefly. The production of light in bioluminescent animals is caused by converting chemical energy to light energy (Bioluminescence, 1 of 1). In a firefly, oxygen, luciferin, luciferase (an enzyme), and ATP combine in the light organ in a chemical reaction that creates cold light (Johnson, 42). This bright, blinking light helps the male firefly attract female fireflies as a possible mate. Other examples of bioluminescent organisms
