DON'T EAT THAT!!!

My beardie just ate a wasp, I know lightning bugs are poisonous but will the wasp hurt him. It didn't sting him, I'm just worried it could cause problems.

Wasps can cause problems. You need to watch for swelling of the tongue, wheezing or coughing, and a blackbeard. If you see any of these symptoms go to the vet asap. Since it's Sunday, you may want to call around and see what vets are open just in case you do need to take him. This is the third post I've seen like this in a couple days and the other 2 turned out fine, so hopefully yours will too!

Thanks, I'll be sure to keep an eye on him. I don't think it stung him, are these symptoms of a sting or do they occur after ingestion?

I think either.
