What should you do if your cat eats a lightning bug?

If your cat eats a lightning bug, monitor them closely for any signs of distress or illness, such as vomiting, drooling, or lethargy. While lightning bugs are generally not toxic to cats, their light-emitting substance can cause gastrointestinal upset. If you notice any concerning symptoms or if your cat has consumed a large quantity, it's best to contact your veterinarian for advice. Always ensure your cat has access to fresh water and a safe, comfortable environment.
