Reading Comprehension

What are those little green lights floating on the grass and flying in the yard? Are they monsters? Are they UFOs? No, they aren’t monsters and they aren’t UFOs. They’re fireflies.

Fireflies are little insects that glow with a cool green light. If you touch one it won’t burn you. Some fireflies glow to warn other animals that they don’t taste good. Frogs, bats, and birds do not like to eat animals that glow. The glow helps keep fireflies safe.

Sometimes we call fireflies glowworms. You can catch fireflies in a jar. Don’t forget to let them go again.
