1 Silkworm is comperable to 2-3 crickets.

Of all of the people I know, I probably feed the lightest. I usually drop 3 silkworms in each cage (adequetly sized)

For my adults, i feed 6 large silkworms (2.5-3 inch) to them in the morning. But they all get snacks throughout the day. I have never had an experience with an overweight chameleon. If anyone has a pic, I'd like to see it. Here's a tip though. Try to hold off on feeding your silkworms until they are faily large. You get more bang for your buck.
