hahahahah! i'm going to go try it out. hey, whatever you think works, works. a lot of things are all in your head anyways, so if you believe it gives you more energy, then it's energy you'll get. <3

Eating lightning bugs is an unknown danger. The 'spark' forms from a chemical reaction in the body of the bug. This chemical, mixed with HCL (hyrdochloric acid), which is in your stomach, causes a fast reaction that can and probably will make your stomach explode. So don't try it.

You gotta be kidding. Next time you see lightning bugs out, catch one. Then squish it between your fingers. Get a good sniff of that squished bug. You wont like the smell. Ok, now. Are you gonna eat something that smells like that?

About as much energy as swallowing a AA battery would give you. In other words, no. It would just be bitter because of the chemical that allows it to produce light.

Well, bugs DO have protein, which gives you energy, but a lightning bug won't give you any more energy than eating ants or roaches or worms. In fact, worms may be your best bet for energy. LOTS of protein in them.

Hmmm....That's not a good idea, I believe they are poisonous to humans.

i doubt it...i think it's a chemical that makes the insect light up, not an actual light.
