The white sticky substance you might notice on your hand after holding a lightning bug is likely a mix of the bug's natural secretions, which can include defensive chemicals or proteins. Lightning bugs, or fireflies, produce bioluminescent light through a chemical reaction in their abdomens, and handling them may transfer some of these substances. Additionally, they may secrete a sticky substance for protection. It's generally harmless but can be a bit messy.
