How to Feed Flying Food (Hawk Moths)

Hello

I've kept some phoenix/calci worms until they've turned into Black Soldier Flies (on accident) and now I am endeavoring to keep hormworms to hawk moths.

My question is, how do you catch and feed flying insects to your chameleon? How do you transfer them from their cage (I plan on rearing the hornworms in the smaller reptibreeze I have) to the chameleon's cage?

Anyone ever fed a hawk moth to their veiled? Do they love it?

I can't feed these hornworms fast enough. I had one pupate on me already.

General info on raising hornworms through their lifecycle appreciated too. I found an old post with this link: http://feederinsectbreeding.blogspot.com/p/hornworm-care-and-breeding.html
 
I'm tempted to tell you to throw them in and slam the door shut. What I do with BSF is pupate the larva in small containers, place the container in the cage with an opening in the lid. My favorite container to use is:
