Crickets are more of a 'staple' but so are other bugs like roaches. Both need to be properly gutloaded. Superworms should be gut loaded as well, and if fed at the right size, should not make up more then 10% of your chameleons diet. A chameleon needs a lot of variety, so you'll need many different bugs. You can order butter worms, silk worms, phoenix/repti worms, horn worms, or you could hatch out your own baby praying mantids. All are great options.
