Best flying feeders?

PappaRONzi · Jul 2, 2012

I have a one year old male Jackson's that will only eat flies! He will go weeks without touching worms, crickets, or roaches. I put a fly in and eats it immediately. So are there any gut load able flying bugs? Any ideas for other flying insects to try? Please help!

Soldier flies (Pheonix worms), Waxworm moths and dermestis beetles are a few options.

Adult locusts would be good and they can be gutloaded too.

SIlkworm moths don't fly, but they do flap about in a tempting way, might be worth a try? Some butterflies too, Painted Lady I think? Check the feeder suppliers for other ideas.

These! Other flying roaches too.

Butterflies are also great. Safe ones include red admirals, painted ladies, american ladies, west coast ladies, cabbage whites (also known as small whites,) and buckeyes. Moths are great too. Most plain old brown moths are safe to feed, but try to find them online first to make sure.

I didn't know such a number of butterflies were safe! Where's my net at? Be vewy quiet...
