Wax worm moths

[seanUTD]

So for bleeding hearts I did search the forum before asking this question (https://www.chameleonforums.com/wax-worms-46638/) Best result I found...

My question is fat content of wax worm moths... Do the moths loose the bad fat content as moths? I know that they are VERY rare feeders because of the 20% fat but if the moths are empty of nutrients I would rather just let them cocoon and turn into moths... Any help out there?

My guess is that with different body structure, there is less fat in reserve. Fat in moth form would be burned off in flight while looking for new hive to populate, and mating activity. While this would be a good addition to neonates and small chameleons, and small species in general, I don't think bigger chameleons would show much interest.

To answer your question: I could'nt find any info on bee moth fat content.
