Got home tonight and there was a wasp on the top of Mordecais screen. Not in the tank but on top. I hurried and got a paper towel to squish it but the holes in the sreen are so big he fell through. I scrambled to get the cage open and got Mordecai out really fast and then found the wasp and killed it. I was so scared. I checked Mordecai and he looks fine.

I know this freaked you out ! Chances are Mordecai would have eaten it with no problem. 
Lots of dragons have snagged a bee , hornet or wasp while outside [ my dragons included ] with no ill effects at all, much to the surprise of us owners. Even one of my babies ate one which I thought for sure would die and it was actually larger than the space between his eyes to boot. Not a flinch, upset tummy or anything. So in general, if your dragon swallows a stinging insect they handle it with no problem and do not get stung. I guess there could be exceptions but every poster that has posted their experience here has had similar story as mine....the beardie had no reaction whatsoever.
