well first off there are plenty of species of beetles that can be eaten like meal worm beetles,japanese beetles, ground beetles but why would you need a lizard that specificly likes beetles? there are however many poisonous ones that you should avoid. Fire flies are deadly to lizards... you should make sure the place your getting your bugs from are pesticide free land. There is no lizard that i know of that exclusivly feeds on beetles but ive had plated lizards, toads, waterdragons, leopard and fat tailed geckos feed on beetles, but not on a beetle only diet...
