Got a Dragon recently, nearly a year old, can't get him to eat greens or any kind... He just wants to eat Superworms and Nightcrawlers... Today, he ate 24 superworms in 5 minutes...

Any suggestions on how to get him to eat greens and less insects?

Make sure you offer the greens before the bugs! Try different types of greens (mine HATE kale they wont touch it with a 10 ft pole). I have had good luck with mustard green. Try offering the greens with some fruit, sometimes that gets them to go for it. Usually as they mature they are more willing to eat greens, but some just don't care for them.

Have you tried adding buggy crutons to the bowl of salad greens ?

Have you tried handfeeding some shreds or small bits of green or veg to the juvenile beardie inbetween bugs ?

Give lots of fresh greens and veg to the insects (he will get the greens in disguise that way).

Give beardie time , will likely chose to nibble the greens and veg of his own accord when he's ready.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
