can chameleons eat fireflies?

Is it ok for chameleons to eat fireflies (lightning bugs)? I have not fed my chameleons that, but there are a ton of them where I live and was just wondering if that is a safe bug for them to eat?

"Fireflies are to be avoided as a diet for all lizards, as they have been shown to cause death in many species if consumed."

Google "can chameleons eat firefiles?" and you will get a good idea...
