Remove giant fireflies.

Outside of vaults, they existed only from spriggan rider death,
and as a fairly rare spawn in Swamp. Their stats were overall very
similar to 'spider,' and their special ability was not too noticeable.

Spriggan riders now ride vampire mosquitoes instead, as a more swampy
substitute.
