Thanks for your warning/admonishment LauraB, but I do know that.

I did not even imply their use as feeders, so where that came from, who knows...

I only raised the question BECAUSE I know they are highly toxic to BDs and if his lizards are as sensitive to them as BDs, that could be the cause of the mysterious deaths. Lightning bugs seem to have come on pretty strong around here the last couple weeks, making them suspect in the fatalities above.
