This question is not as straightforward as it may first appear. Many factors can affect chameleon diet, including but limited to age, temperature, current health, and gender.. 

To keep it simple we will start with feeder types. Our most common options are crickets, superworms (do not feed mealworms), and the various roaches offered. There are others but these are likely to be your primary options. First, it is important to think what is best for the chameleon, and not only what is most convenient. In nature the chameleons diet would consist primarily of pollinators such as bees, wasps, and other smaller flying insects. Our closest match is the cricket. This is the reason crickets are suggested as the best option; with roaches, superworms, and other feeders only making 30% or less of the total.
