Do you mean this one?VENGEANCEBy Walter WheatleyDark and dreary was the night,A storm was drawing nigh,In vivid streaks the lightning flashed,Athwart the leaden sky.But see, from out the lonely woodsThere stands a vengeful man,A bloodstained club is firmly graspedWithin his strong right hand.Like a spectre from the unknown worldHe glides upon his foe,A murderous look gleams in his eyeAs he readies for the blow.The club is raised-and then, alas,It falls with a sickening thud,And there upon the dark, cold groundLies murdered ... a potato bug.
i think its lightning bugs. :)

Seeing lightning on a clear night may indicate that a storm is located far away and the lightning flashes are visible due to the clear sky. Lightning can travel long distances and be seen even when the storm itself is out of sight.
