Spiders do not typically eat lightning bugs, which are also known as fireflies. While some spiders may catch and consume various insects, fireflies have chemicals in their bodies that make them distasteful or toxic to many predators, including spiders. Therefore, while it's possible for a spider to catch a lightning bug, it's unlikely to eat it due to its unpalatable nature.
