Tongue not sticking well

Hey guys!! As some of you know I have a female veiled chameleon named Tiki :) just recently I noticed she wasn’t always sticking to the bugs when she hit them... this only happens every now and then, not enough for it to be an issue. But as a chameleon owner I’m worried. Other than this small thing she’s completely healthy... what could be the cause??
 
Are the bugs dusted when she dont get them the first time? Btw chameleons have sticky tongues and saliva but they actually grab/vacuum the food with their tongue. Or maybe you introduced her to some new bugs she didn’t eat before so she’s just picky?
 
I would just like to state that this was a false alarm, thanks to those of you who did reach out.... I was just being paranoid ?
