Feeder Insects

My favorite staple feeder insects include crickets, mealworms, and discoid roaches.

Some feeder insects are better than others, but for the most part the crickets, mealworms, and discoid roaches, make great staples. You can, also, try silkworms, if you want.

I would stay away from feeding butterworms and waxworms as a staple, as they are high in fat content.
