Spider lightning
Spider lightning was a form of lightning that was reddish in color and could travel kilometers horizontally before striking the ground.

Kasha Tal once had a close encounter with spider lightning and barely survived.

Spider lightning was common on Kokytos, and threatened a group of Starfleet Academy cadets, led by Lieutenant Sylvia Tilly, who crashed on the moon in 3190. A lightning strike caused a patch of parasitic ice to expand and entrap Ensign Adira Tal. ()
