My dragon ate a June bug. Should I be worried?

I had Ember basking in the grass and a June bug landed close to her. As I grabbed her it was already in her mouth. She is 9 months old and the bug was about the size of a finger nail so she had no problem eating it in a few chomps. Just wondering if it will be a problem? She seems fine and had a few crickets after we came inside.
 
No its perfectly fine, it would only have been a worry if the bug had got into contact with insecticides but by the sounds of it your dragon is good. Just watch out for any unusual signs such as lethargy, loss of appetite or inability to poop, as you should never feed your BD anything from the wild.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
