Lightening bugs are deadly to beardies, even part of one can kill a full grown healthy beardie and they do not affect other reptiles.
I'm curious about the source of this statement, b/c I know that lightning bugs will flat out kill birds and spiders, as well as beardies. The problem specific to beardies and other imported lizards is not a particular sensitivity to the toxins so much as not having ever developed an aversion to eating them, as many NA species of animal have.

Here's a paper on firefly toxins from Cornell News:

Based on this, I wouldn't feed fireflies to any animal.
