Bioluminescence is the production of light by living systems. The best-known example of this phenomenon is the characteristic glow of the firefly, but other luminous species include bacteria, fungi and other animals such as jellyfish, scale-worms, deep-sea squid, prawn and fish. In animals bioluminescence is used as a diversionary tactic when disturbed, to attract prey and of course as a mating signal during courtship.

Although mating disruption of Attagenus megatoma by pheromones has been demonstrated, permeation of a storage facility is not considered a good tactic, principally because residues absorbed on the stored products or containers may attract insects after the material has left the warehouse.
