There is an entire family called by that common name, so you'd have to be more specific if you wanted to know a particular... well, species.

The name for the family is Lampyridae.

The most common of the species called "lightning bugs" in the US is probably Photinus pyralis. Another species is Photuris pennsylvanica.
