Hi I'm setting up a breeding project for Atticus atlas moths. I was wondering if they would make good livefood for my leopard geckos.
Would they be nutritional like a hornworm? or would it just be fatty and not nutritional like a waxworm?

Would atlas caterpillars make a steady diet for my Leo's???(added with the occasional cricket both dusted in supplement?

As a treat every now and again. But don’t replace crickets no x

what about their defense: The caterpillars have a "strong-smellling defensive secretion that apparently is used against vertebrate and ant predators."

Great point and an excellent reason not to use them as Livefood, Thanks dude
