If it were I expect I would have lost some captive individuals due to beetle impaction as I have literally fed out thousands of them to dozens of amphibians over the years. Sometimes I think people worry so much about hypothetical feeding issues that their frogs end up missing out on a varied diet. Just pointing that out. To each his own though.
