zophobus morio, also known as King mealworms, Kingworms, super mealworms, and (most commonly) superworms.

if you just put in some bran or oatmeal and chop up a carrot or two thats what theyll eat, and they are a good staple feeder along with crickets, just make sure you watch out when you feed them to your chams, if your not careful they could bit them on the way down

crush the superworm's head prior to cup feeding them off!!!...LOL...they still move alot too!!!

Chams are quite capable of eating these without our having to crush worm heads. If they are extremely large, maybe. But I wouldnt bother on anything 3cm or less. Also offer recently molted ones if you can.
Bran, Oats, Fruit, Veg, Dead Roaches and cricket (from old age / natural causes, not dead from pesticides obviously), Cricket gut load stuff

Superworms will eat anything (easy to gutload) and dusted with calcium they make a pretty decent feeder.
They cannot hurt your chameleon!
