This may be a stupid question

So I have a pupa mealworm, it's not yet a beetle, can I feed it to my dragon? I give her the freshly molted, no shell larvae usually, but after they go dark and have a hard exo and/or change into beetles I put them outside. Instead of letting 10 cents a piece go to waste, can I feed her the mushy pupa?

I have never tried. If you do feel the pupa though, you can feel that the area which is growing legs is not a soft as the rest of the body, it was that, that has detoured me in the passed.
