Los lampíridos son una familia de coleópteros polífagos que incluye los insectos conocidos como luciérnagas, bichos de luz, isondúes, cucuyos y gusanos de luz, todos los conocemos por su bioluminiscencia (emiten luz). Puedes encontrarlos en pantanos o áreas húmedas y boscosas, porque ahí es donde sus larvas tienen mucha fuente de alimento.
Tienen dos antenas delgadas y articuladas, élitros (alas anteriores), un protórax (primero de los tres segmentos del tórax de un bicho) de manera que casi cubre su cabeza. En la mayoría de las especies se nota mucho el dimorfismo sexual: mientras los machos alcanzan un desarrollo completo similar al de otros coleópteros (escarabajos), las hembras conservan un aspecto larvario, con élitros reducidos a escamas y se parecen más a cochinillas que a escarabajos, con patas rechonchas y sin alas, no pueden volar.
Brillan en la oscuridad porque tienen órganos especiales que les permite hacerlo. Abajo del abdomen tienen órganos lumínicos y células especiales, cuando absorben el O2, éste se combina con una sustancia que se llama luciferina. De esta reacción química se obtiene luz.
