are painted lady caterpillars/butterflies safe?

[Calypratus]

There's lots of butterfly growing kits and lots of them use painted lady butterflies. Are the caterpillars or butterflies safe for chameleon consumption? I found a kit for super cheap online, and want to see if I can get anything out of it.

I tried this once. Only 2 butterflies survived, and when I put one in for my panther it landed on his back. My husband got a great shot of him looking back at it like, "what am I supposed to do with this?".
