One type of creeping firefly (Lampyris noctiluca) has been found in the forest area, West Sumatra, Indonesia. This study reports the spectral properties of these fireflies using a nanofotometer. From the measurement results, the wavelength value at maximum intensity is 580 nm. The decay constant, the number of photons, the quantum yield and the activation energy produced are 0.0092 / sec, 4.95 quanta / sec, 0.283 and 2.1433 eV, respectively.
