What do lightning bugs eat?
Answer:
Lightning Bug larvae live on the ground, under bark, and in moist swampy places. They eat earthworms, snails and slugs, plus they may scavenge certain small dead animals and other organic material . They have been seen following slime trails to their victims. Lightning Bug larvae, one of which is shown at the right, have sickle-shaped mandibles with which they can inject a kind of chemical that paralyzes their prey and helps digest it. Several larvae have been seen attacking large prey together.
Adult Lightning Bugs, who can live for several months, probably feed on plant nectar. A few adult Lightning Bug species practice an especially tricky kind of cannibalism. Already-mated females emit flashes similar to the female responses to male Lightning Bugs of other species. When the male of the other species lands, the female emitting the false flashes pounces on the poor male and eats him!

Other bugs that are usually harmful to crops and plants...

lol...n i thought they were cute!
We don't have lightning bugs here in England but you have all got me interested enough to find out what they look like!! Please know that I would rather keep well clear of creepy crawlies because they do my head in big time. Ugly,wiggly and just plain horrid!! Take a gun to me. Chase me with a ruddy great Bowie knife but don't come within a mile of me with a bug or cockroach, coz I would be half way to Brazil before you even started to walk towards me!! Send for the DALEKS to EXTERMINATE 'em.
