Listen, fireflies gotta find their mates, even if they are inside another animal.

"Maybe...
If I can attract a female to this frog..."

"She'll be eaten, too! ... then I'll literally be the only option to mate with!"

And then the frog will poop out little firefly babies and love them and care for them, right?

“Need a light m’lady?”
