Tree with Sea Fireflies
Living near brackish water, Sea Fireflies use pheromones to attract each other during their mating season. Some trees also produce tree-sap that mimics their pheromones to attract them.[1]
Plot[]

Gon looked for the right kind of twig to attract them so he could give it to Palm during their date. The following day, he gave it to Palm as a bouquet of light.[1]
