What the video shows

The video zooms from a summer field into the last segments of a firefly's abdomen and draws the reaction as it happens: luciferin meets oxygen with luciferase as the matchmaker, and the energy leaves as light instead of heat. It closes with why the flashes come in patterns.

How it was made

A one-line prompt, the Creative style and the default voice. The cutaway of the abdomen is a single generated board; the labels appear in the order the narration mentions them.
