Beardies eat Dragonflies?

[mrsescobar]

I have a ton of dragonflies in my backyard...
i know that they do not have any pesticides on them.
my beardie is highly interested in these brightly colored creatures,
but i will not let him munch yet, with out knowing if they
contain any toxins.

Thankyou,

As with any wild caught insect it is never recommended to feed them. Dragonflies in particular cover long distances (sometimes many miles) in a single day so you can't be sure they don't have pesticides. The dragonflies you see could have been in another state the day before. Not worth the risk feeding them to your beardie IMHO.
