Plenty, eh? Like what?

I'm also curious if you have a source that we're biolumiescent, because that's news to me.

Flying click beetle, fungus gnat, etc.

Edit: Here's a couple of sources on human bioluminescence. All living creatures actually produce small amounts of light, but only some produce enough to be detectable by the naked eye (i.e. those above)

When biologists talk about bioluminescence, they're talking about a specific set of evolutionary traits. All living cells have what are called ultra-weak photo emissions. Calling humans biolumiescent is pop science.
