I have a pet chameleon and as of right now we've been feeding her mealworms (which is technically beetle larvae). She's been getting bored with them so we tried crickets, which she didn't much care for those because she barely went for them. Beetle larvae and crickets were the only things suggested to us for our chameleon, which may vary depending on which pet store you go to. I looked it up and you can also feed them silkworms, grasshoppers, mealworms, waxworms, flies (but those are what they mostly eat in the wild), and tomato hornworms.
Also if you do try any of the worms to feed to your chameleon, you have to feed the insects too (all except for the flies, crickets, and grasshoppers), because if you don't then the mealworms turn into beetles and the silk and tomato hornworms turn into moths. I don't know if chameleons will eat beetles, but if you let the worms pupate and turn into moths, then the chameleon will eat it.
Another thing that helps with their diet is buying calcium powder to dip the insects into, to help their diet.

Chameleons are secondary consumers because the fly would eat the leaf and the chameleon would eat the fly making it a secondary consumer. Everything starts with the producers, Plants. These give life to us. Then primary consumers: Mostly herbivore. Eats plant. Secondary consumer: Carnivores, omnivore eat primary consumer. Consumer energy pyramid goes on... Decomposer: Natures natural recyclers, they break down the meat and they use it as nutrients and the cycle goes on...

What is a chameleons hunting skills?
The chameleon can change its skin tone and colour to blend into its surroundings. You could say that, like a crocodile, the chameleon waits for its prey. In this case which would be a bug of some sort. Anyway, the chameleon will ambush its prey, waiting for an unexpecting bug to fly or craw past then BAM! The chameleon lashes out its tongue, which has a sticky sort of saliva on it. That sticks to the bug and the bug sticks to the tongue, the chameleon draws back its tongue as fast as it pushed it out and eats the bug! Hope I helped...but you could've looked this up on the Internet yourself
