i believe the news story, but i do not believe the phoenix guy was real.
it was clearly amateur footage stitched in to the clip with cheap sound, and if such a "gem" as that guy was saying all those things, the media would have been all over it.
he sounded like an ad for one of those hillbilly "reality" shows.

There’s a news story on the event.
And it’s not the first time it’s happened.

I vaguely remember watching this on the local nightly news back when. I felt awfully sorry for the guy.

Its easy to turn a human being into a living torch with the help of chemical accelerants ( lighter fluid, gasoline, or whatever). Big things are easy to ignite.

But because of the nature of fire its very had to set an individual critter as small as a spider on fire (without also burning down the whole house).

Flames cant be much smaller than the flame on a match or on a candle -about the same size as a bug.

In contrast small critters are more effected by forces of adhesion than we are. If you were the size of bug you would never be able to take off your clothes because your garmets would stick to your body. That's why they make traps consisting only of sticky cardboard -for bugs, and even for mice.

As a blowtorch? I mean is it flammable? I'll try it and see. I think there's a bedbug on my mattress. What's the worse that could happen?

I don't know about bug spray, but hair spray IS highly flammable. So yes you could use the combination of a lit match and a can of hair spray as a blow torch. And then try to hunt down bugs in your house by trying to hit them with tongues of flaming hair spray. I am sure that that would seem like a great idea to anyone who happens to have a piece of candy corn for a brain. :D
