The Firefly is a critter that gives off a tiny amount of light. Fireflies have only 5 health, and can be damaged by other enemies and the player, which almost always results in their instant death.

Fireflies will spawn anywhere with clear weather^[1] on the surface at night, except inside houses. They can be caught with a Bug Net to be carried around and released later, or put in a bottle to be used as furniture and a light source. The bottled firefly is animated and moves around inside, and cannot be released once crafted.

Fireflies can be used as bait, having a 20% bait power value.

Trivia

• Like Lavaflies, Fireflies are difficult to see at night at high resolutions, appearing as a blinking speck on the screen.

The Bestiary entry for the Firefly: "Appears at night in calm locations, illuminating the sky with strobing green light. Fish are fairly attracted to these."
