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.
