I dont have any pics, but i can tell you that the grasshoppers are one of the scariest things you will ever see! lol. They are very large and red, and they smell a lot worse than the can o crickets. My beardie bit one in half and almost spit it out, but then forced it down and then didn't want any more after that. Not to say that yours won't like them though. and i have not tried the caterpillars.
My beardie loves the can o crickets though. and they are better than freeze dried, but they still should not be fed as a staple, as a treat only. Well-gutloaded live insects are what should be fed regularly.

My guy loves the can o' crickets. They're kinda scary-looking at first b/c they're big (like the ones you see outdoors). It took him a while to realize that they were food, but boy then did he eat them up!
I have more coming in the mail today, if you want me to take a pic of them for you. if you do decide to buy them, reptiledirect.com has great prices - only $2something a can. My pet store charges $5something!!

I use the mealworms and Crix.
He loves the Crix.
I tried the Grasshoppers and they are scary! they are huge, I cut them in half for my guy...he only ate one half and decided he didn't like it.
Mine will chose the canned Crix OVER live if I let him.
As far as the cattepillars are concerned. They are UGLY. and he wouldn't even touch them. I wouldn't feed them too regularly becase they are fatty. (that is their job....eat...get fat...spend a month or so in a cocoon and be a butterfly/moth)
Good luck
