This housecat-sized beetle is a dull brown color brightened by two glowing green-yellow spots on its carapace.
Description
Although nocturnal, the fire beetle lacks darkvision—it relies on its own glowing glands for illumination. Caged fire beetles are a popular source of long-lasting illumination among eccentrics and miners.
Other variations on the common fire beetle exist. The two most common variants are detailed below.
