i have been thinking of these myself. i was told that waterdragons enjoy chasing the wax worm moths and other types of flying insects. havent tried it yet though! i understand they are pretty easy to breed but dont know if they are edible. Did you see them on ebay?

no, i have spyed some catterpillars on freecycle so have 30 comming to me, the moths and catterpillars look stunning, also very meaty, just concerned that as they feed on oak they may be toxic ???
