उत्तर
The insect shown is a firefly. It produces its own light through a natural process called bioluminescence.
In different Indian languages, it is commonly called:
- Hindi: जुगनू (Jugnu)

Fireflies are usually seen at night in fields, gardens, forests, and wetland areas, especially during warm and humid weather.
