how do fireflies glow?

Also with our vast knowledge of applied biology, why we haven’t still made an lab grown biological light source?

Fireflies glow by performing a chemical reaction, where one molecule breaks apart and results in a bit of extra energy that is released as light.

We have made many lab-grown bioluminescent sources. We’ve even made glowing cats. They are, unsurprisingly, very inefficient light sources.
