I thought only the males lit up? Not judging, but egg laying might post a problem.

It’s both. It’s a beautiful little call and response like system they have evolved to do. Typically the males will light up while they are flying and the females light up on the ground. There are some species that are predatory though and will mimic and use the lights to hunt the others.
