Feeder insects

[Vince]

I have read the feeder insects list on the forums, i know there are several other insects chameleons can eat. I was just wondering if anyone in here has ever fed there chams butterflies? I was looking for different kinds of insects that are available and i found butterfly larvae on a science web site. http://sciencekit.com/insects-study-kits-and-teaching-aids/c/2165/ Just wondering if this could potentially be a good source of food?

Im sure it would depend on the type of butterfly larva.
I think moths and their larva are less likely to be poisonous - but I dont have anything to back that up.
