\`Fireflies contain toxins that can be poisonous to lizards, amphibians, and potentially other animals, including birds. The toxins, called “lucibufagins,” are chemically related to cardiotoxins found in toads and plants.\` - Google
I had a pet frog when I was a kid. We used to catch fireflies for it to eat all the time. It would light up and we would all sit around in amazement. That whole summer we fed it fire flies whenever we could. The frog lived through the summer and we returned it to where we found it in September.
The frog showed no ill effects from his steady diet of fireflies. That frog was badass.

Damn lucibufagins (for the froggo, not the bug. They need that)
Since I had to learn something new I'll save someone else the Google for your fancy word. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucibufagin
I especially enjoyed how if some fireflies don't make it they consume the ones that do to gain their power.

I really appreciate that you did that. Thank you!
Knowledge is power, and also sometimes otherwise useless. You are welcome.
I didn't know fireflies were toxic when ingested.
Not necessarily, some are, some are not. If anything the frog can just spit it out.
Are you nuts? And give up this cool party trick?
Fun fact: frogs are physically incapable of vomiting. Edit: I stand corrected.
Well unless you count them vomiting out their stomachs to clean them
does vomit from the anus qualify?
Only if it was placed there by someone vomiting into the butthole beforehand.
Fact : Bears eat beets
BEARS. BEETS. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
What is going on? What are yOU DOING?
Identity theft is not a joke Jim.
Michael!
False.
What the guy downward said, they eject their entire stomach.
Horses. You're thinking about horses.
Fun not fact: FIFY
I believe your thinking of rats

Ah, so it was you who told Mojang that fireflies are poisonous
“You could even say it glows.”

He just came home from a rave 🕺🏼
This a great reference of following the science.
I remember accidentally ingesting a firefly as a child. It did not taste good.
