Last night I saw this insect flying inside the house - somehow it had entered. Which is this? It played dead for a while and it slowly got up and walked off. I put it on my Bird book for the picture under the light.

Here it is emiting. Made a shade with my hand so that the fluorescence gets visible.

We call them Fireflies or Lightning Bugs here in the US.
