Learn to draw a firefly. This step-by-step tutorial makes it easy. Beginner artists can now draw a great looking firefly.

The firefly, also called a glow worm or lightning bug, is a beetle that has a special light-producing organ on its abdomen. The largest can reach 1 inch in length. The bioluminescent light is a “cold light,” never warm to the touch, produced by special cells called photocytes.

You don’t need any special pens or tools. A regular pencil, eraser, and paper are all you need.

Have fun!
