Coreid bug as a feeder? Bitta flavolineata

Hello all,
Right now we have our 7 week old veiled on small crickets and superworms. But we have a pink trumpet tree in our yard that has coreid bugs on it just about year round. Being a real 'bug' it is a plant sucker and not a biter. Anyone have experience with this one or have advice for a new feeder item. They are 0.5 to 1.0 inch in body length. It will be a few months before he grows up unless I find some baby bugs to try

Have done a little research on the tree they are drinking from and it is used in a bunch of herbal remedies, have not found and thing on toxicity of the tree. Will update in a few months when I try one as an experiment.
