Application
Fireflies have been used in several studies of bioluminescence. In particular they may be used in assays to determine toxicity pathways because bioluminescence can quantitatively measure a wide range of biological activities.

Bioluminescent reactions of luminous organisms are excellent models for studying the effects of heavy atoms on enzymatic processes. The effects of potassium halides with halide anions of different atomic weight were compared in bioluminescent reactions of the firefly (Luciola mingrelica)
