Yes, a lightning bug, or as we call it in Tennessee, a fire fly, is a beetle, like a lady bug, which is also a beetle.

They are in different families, but in the same order (beetles, Coleoptera). Lady beetles (or lady bugs, if you wish) are in the Coccinellidae family and lightning bugs are in the Lampyridae family.

Although bees and ladybirds are both insects, there are many differences between them, such as: * Bees live in Hives, Ladybirds do not * Bees have stingers, Ladybirds have no sting, but they do bite * Bees feed on pollen and nectar, Ladybirds live on aphids and other small insects. * Bees live in colonies and are dependent of the social structure, Ladybirds are independent.
