Can a scorpion eat a lightning bug?

Yes, a scorpion can eat a lightning bug, although it may not be a common food source. Scorpions are carnivorous and primarily feed on insects, Spiders, and other small animals. If a scorpion encounters a lightning bug and can successfully subdue it, it will likely consume it as part of its diet. However, the bioluminescence of the lightning bug may make it less appealing to some predators.
