Waxworms are high in fat. Probably the highest as feeder insects go. I think the moths produce between 150-200 eggs. I'm not for shure as I havn't got the first hand experience (yet).

The link below will help you understand the viability of using wax worms as feeders. Good examples. I feed my Veileds at least one a day. I have one male that will only eat crickets & waxworms. For awhile he would only eat waxworms. But he was in bad shape when I got em & he's doing better (getting thicker) & molting now.
