Glowfly


 * This article is about the creature seen in The Swamp. You may be looking for the Spirit World Firefly or the Creature from the Northern Air Temple.

The Glow Fly is an insect native to the Earth Kingdom, specifically, the Swamp. It is not known if this is its exclusive habitat. The bug itself is small, but is capable of giving off an intense light which makes it appear hundreds of times its actual size. This creature is only seen in "The Swamp".

Connection
The lightning bug (or firefly) is likely the closest real life connection to the glowing bug seen in Avatar. Certain species of adult fireflies are able to emit light using an enzyme inside their abdomens.
