A close-up of the fantasy of self-glowing creatures

Optical glow is one of the great abilities of all species in nature.

1. Plankton

Plankton appear in most beaches around the world, especially in Maldives. They emit blue light, and tend to glow more strongly when there are waves. When the tide rises, they gather together and form a beautiful scene like coming out of a fairy tale.

2. The slideshow

8 out of 12,000 rolling species are capable of emitting blue light at night, normally they are brown. Although rolling is organic crumbs and there is no need to attract prey, their light is in fact to warn predators that they can release deadly cyanide from the hole. their pores.

3. Fireflies

Fireflies are animals that have the ability to emit light themselves for many different reasons. Some fireflies glow to warn predators that they are mildly toxic, some other species glow to attract prey. The most famous landmarks found these brilliant fireflies are Waitomo caves, New Zealand.

4. Snails

When Clusterwink snails are in danger, they will escape into the shells and emit green light. At that time, the snail looks much bigger, so no crabs will want to attack it.

5. Jellyfish comb

While other organisms emit blue or green light in the dark, this comb jellyfish emits light as they move, creating a rainbow effect.

6. Fireflies

The organism is located below the abdomen, signaling that they are looking for a mate, but their light is also used to warn predators. This animal can emit yellow light.

7. Boys

The mussel is about 7 inches long and has the ability to emit blue light. This special ability of mussels was discovered when the Romans Pliny saw that his breath emitted light when eating them.

8. Fish anglerfish

The spine of the anglerfish's dorsal fin protrudes just above the mouth, looking like a fishing rod. They have the ability to glow and attract prey. When their prey comes close enough, they will immediately attack their prey with their large jaws and sharp teeth.

9. Cockroaches

Two glowing spots on the back of this insect make them look like a poisonous beetle. Unfortunately, these newly discovered species have become extinct due to volcanic eruptions near their habitats in Ecuador in 2010. This is the only species of bioluminescence to mimic defense. .

10. Mushrooms

Around the world, there are more than 70 species of fungi capable of bioluminescence, and they can be found everywhere. For some fungi, light used to attract insects helps disperse spores and stimulate their reproduction.

11. Ink

Many species of squid self-illuminate to match the color and intensity of light above it. This helps them avoid predators, which will attack as soon as they see the shadows of the squid.

12. Coral

Most corals have the ability to absorb light outside and emit a different color of light than the color it absorbs. For example, many corals absorb blue or violet light, but after absorbing it, they emit bright red, orange, or green.

13. Octopus

Octopuses may glow continuously or blink and then turn off immediately in small holes beneath their bodies.

14. Starfish

Technically, they are not starfish, but Ophiochiton ternispinus is closely related to starfish. Like their brothers, they also have 5 slender legs and are very flexible. They emit blue light to attract prey in the dark.

Lanternfish fish have glowing bodies located at the bottom of the abdomen, making it glow in the dark. However, this fish also has a glowing organ in the nose, making it capable of glowing from the front that looks like a headlight.

17. Bacteria

Insects are frequent victims of these bacteria, they kill their prey by releasing toxins until these animals die and break their bodies from the inside out.

18. Mollusks

Molluscs are tiny crustaceans that live a lot in Arctic waters. The light they emit helps them find each other and gather, it also helps them get rid of other predators.

19. Snake sea

Sea snakes live deep in the sea, where they use their giant mouth to swallow larger prey. They can glow in the tail.

20. Deep sea

Swima bombaviridis is a species with a very unique defense system. They can emit green light that distracts predators, giving them enough time to escape.
