Those are caterpillars.
*wink*
Don't know if they are friendly to Chameleon stomachs, though

If I were you I wouldn't feed random catterpillars to you pets, for all you know it could be toxic

Those look like Gypsy Moth Caterpillars. We have them all over the place ever year in MI.
They do eat a wide variety of foliage, some of which I believe makes them have some level of toxicity.
Someone else may be able to speak better to that.
I would just side with safety on this one and not feed them to my chams.

i know when i was younger and playing with a little hairy caterpillar some of the tiny hairs stuck into the skin on my hand and it hurt so bad, they were so fine they were hard to see to pull out. for that reason i won't feed hairy things to my cham. i think its the caterpillars defence

If I were you, I'd march that container right back to the store and be like....." What the heck is this!?!?"...." There is oatmeal in my catapilars!!!" " Lemme talk to the manager!"
