"some" spiders, if they bite her. I dont have a list. In the wild they eat bees all the time. My main concern in my area is lightning bugs, since a few of them can take even a beardie down.
If you're in the US, your main concerns are black widows and brown recluse which are pretty rare. The widow is in the soth, not sure about the recluse. I never heard of a dog, a cham, a pet bird or anything during from eating one. I guess it's possible but unlikely. If you are wouried, get or build a reptibreeze type cage so your cham can still get sunlight. A female panther or veiled would be ok in a medium or preferably large reptibreeze for occasional use in the daytime. Even if you don't use a screen cage, the risk is worth the reward.
I guess to prevent them from eating lightning bugs, keep her off the grass or in a screen cage. Since lightning bugs are nocturnal and chams diurnal it would be a random find for her to eat one. Cats and birds are a bigger concern than bugs. I never have mine outside uncaged and I don't leave them out at night(racoons, possoms, etc..) To do a nighttime cage, I would have it double walled with at least an inch between walls to preventative from being grabbed.
