So I had some hornworms get huge and I let them cacoon and one came out today its a HUGE MONSTER! I'll put a pic of both THE MONSTER and my girl Fred can she eat this or do I need to capture THE MONSTER and set it free upon the country side?

Hornworms and their adult moths are agricultural pests, though the chance this adult moth would even make it far enough to find compatible nectar to feed on is low. It is a soft bodied insect so your cham could eat it, but it's size may completely intimidate your cham. It may not even attempt it.
 
Feed the moth to your chameleon!

Chameleons relish Hornworm Moths as an added variety of feeder insects species compared to normal feeder insects.
