COCUYO

A bioluminescent click beetle (Pyrophorus species) native to tropical regions. It is nocturnal and possesses two light emitting spots on its thorax that glow yellow green. Historically, women in the Venezuelan state of Lara wore these insects as living jewelry by tying them to their bodices with fine thread. They are typically found in the humid mountain forests of the Andes and the Coastal Range.
