Fireflies : Fireflies or lightning bugs make light within their bodies.
This process is called bioluminescence and is shared by many other
organisms, mostly sea-living or marine organisms. Fireflies light up to
attract a mate. To do this, the fireflies contain specialized cells in
their abdomen that make light.
.
Rajmachi, located in the Lonavala region is accessible from both Karjat
as well as Lonavala. The village of Udhewadi lies on the massive plateau
that greets one on getting to Rajmachi. The twin forts of Srivardhan &
Manoranjan grace the backdrop of the village.
