If I were you, I wouldn't.
There could be pestisides, lawn chemicals, ect. on them. Even if you collect the bugs from an aread you know they aren't used in, there is still the chance chemicals blew over, leaves with the chemicals blew over, whatever.

Goodluck

I gave mine a few, they tried em and spit them back out. The bugs then just burrowed into the soil and were never seen again.
