Fireflies are toxic to bearded dragons, and there are some other bugs that are considered toxic even to birds. Many beetles have a foul secretion (ie stink bugs) which make them unappetizing...but for the most part, as long as the cage has screening similar to window screen, there isn't any real worry about the dragon eating something toxic.

I do not think mites on native reptiles are inclined to attach to dragons...mites are usually pretty species specific.
