Glowing Ant

The glowing ant is a species of carpenter ant-sized ant native to both Central and South American rainforests, but has since established non-native colonies throughout Florida. The glowing ants are named for their abdomen, which glows green in darkness, this is due to the glowing ants feeding on, not just man-made food (which they don't naturally feed in the wild) or non-glowing leaves or other arthropods, but also bioluminescent mushrooms and some glowing arthropods, during digesting and after digesting their glowing food sources, the bacteria inside their abdomen glow due to borrowing the bioluminescence of their glowing food. However, it is unclear on what is the purpose of the glowing ants' glowing abdomens, it was thought that males used these glowing abdomens to attract mates, but females have these glowing abdomens too and this theory has since been debunked.
