Family: Lampyridae
The Lampyridae are a family of insects in the beetle order Coleoptera. They are winged beetles, commonly called fireflies or lightning bugs for their conspicuous use of bioluminescence during twilight to attract mates or prey. Fireflies produce a "cold light", with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically produced light from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale red,

I would love to see them one day (night).
Agreed Mark :-)
It looks like Lampyridae to me Satyen. (Firefly beetle) What do you think?
