Also would painted lady butterflies be a good feeder for a Jackson's?
I'm looking to make a purchase of some feeders for my chams, I have plenty of Dubai, crix, supers, and calci worms. I was looking into getting some Isopods, bb flies, horn and silk worms. And where can you find and small locust or grasshoppers??

great selection - well done!
not easy to get locust in northamerica
painted ladies are a good enrichment feeder

I have found packed together shipments difficult to obtain. it seems everyone wants to ship items seperately. you might be able to get something like hornworms and silkworms shipped together.

I catch all my wild grasshoppers and locusts...
Im completely sure they are from a safe area... free from pesticides and stuff...
many in here say its not good... but some others will agree with me that its a good option as long as you are 100% its safe.
you can read more about WC feeders around the forum.. see all the pros and cons
I havent had any problem so far, and my chameleon love his wild caught grasshoppers, locusts, moths and dragonflies.

Sorry- I'm jumping in to nitpick because I just heard the name mispronounced on youtube videos. They are dubia not dubai. Dubai is a place and these roaches are native half a world away from Dubai.
Duh bee yuh
not
Doo bye
That said, i think your quest for a varied chameleon diet is an excellent idea.
I used to to do this as well when I only had a few lizards. It is fun and 10 minutes in a hay field this time of year can yeild a lot of insects that are high in calcium and carotinoids from grass and weed eating insects that also come pre-gutloaded on excellent foods.
I had a friend who had a blacklight trap that fit over a 5 gallon bucket who used to catch 1/3 of a bucket full of feedable insects some nights.
I'd recommend thinking about soldier fly larvae as well. I've really enjoyed my colony this summer- first time I got it really going after trying last year.
