Those should all be safe for feeding.

the spring is here soon ill go hunt some species and breed them and see how it goes! i really like them better than crickets !
as far as getting them from wild and feed them directly to the cham i guess its wrong we dont know what food they ate or if they were exposed to pesticided insectcieds ! bull if i breed them it will be ok!

Nice bugs! I have some chams that would love to eat those.

Katydids and grasshoppers (except Romalea guttata) are good feeder choices. If you had to pick just one grasshopper to breed, choose the green-est one. Chams love green food. In terms of nutritional value, Im not aware of a major difference between them
